#5 Leicester’s fairy tale all but over
Trending
The man who orchestrated Leicester City’s climb to the top still finds it hard to believe what they pulled off. The most unlikely champions, the odds of the Foxes winning last season was pegged to be 5000 to 1. Despite such odds, they did the impossible and marched their way to the title with just three defeats all season.
This year, it is quite a different tale. The Midlands side have already lost six games this time around while winning only five and sit five points above the drop zone.
Chelsea set an unwanted record when they failed to defend their title and mounted the worst defence of the Premier League era. With Leicester’s current run of form, they look on track to save the London side the embarrassment of holding on to that record.
If the Foxes don’t turn things around for themselves they face further risk of dropping down. They could also be the first team since the 1930s to be relegated in the season immediately following their league victory.
