EPL 2016/17: 10 things we learned from Gameweek 7

#9 Leicester’s performance affected by European games

Slimani found the back of the net against Porto but was unable to do so against The Saints

After seven weeks into the season, Leicester City finds themselves in the bottom half of the table in the 12^th spot. While the Foxes have been clinical in Europe, they have been less impressive in the Premier League.

One reason for this could be the European fixtures draining the players out before their games in the weekend. Leicester City have strengthened their squad to cope with the pressures of Europe and the league, but have had a hard time managing both effectively.

While they are in the running in three tournaments, manager Ranieri must prioritise one over the other or find the right balance.
