2016 has been a good year for the Foxes

It was meant to happen that Leicester City ended 2016 on a high note with a close 1-0-win over West Ham United. It had been a special year for the Foxes, as they lifted the Premier League title for the first time ever. Despite their tremendous achievement, the Champions have been well below par in the league this season.

They are currently struggling in 15th position, only six points clear of the bottom three. Claudio Ranieri's side have battled with consistency issues as well as defensive problems and a win and a clean sheet should do then a world of good. They will be hoping to carry on winning in January as they will face a hectic schedule in February with the Champions League knockout phase coming up.
