What has worked so far?
The highlight of the season so far has to be the 9-0 thrashing of Southampton. Leicester was ruthless in front of goal, the passing and teamwork were fabulous and the players seemed to look like they were having fun working with Brendan Rodgers' ideas, something that had seemed missing after Claudio Raineri left the club. Unity within the squad, players willing to listen to the manager and perfect execution of his plans are something every fan wants to see. The likes of James Maddison and Ben Chilwell have become regulars for England as well, which has kept fans excited.

The performances have been there for all to see: Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez have been scoring consistently and have been ably supported by the attack-minded midfielders in Youri Tielemans and James Maddison. Full-backs Ben Chilwell and Ricardo Pereira have also contributed from the wings with their well-timed runs and accurate crosses. Harvey Barnes and Dennis Praet have also stepped up to the occasion when needed.
In goal, Kasper Schmeichel has been his consistent self. The defence deserves credit for sure: Johny Evans and Çağlar Söyüncü have formed a formidable partnership at the back and have managed to keep things tight. The full-backs have been instrumental defensively as well.
Jamie Vardy has consistently been scoring goals season after season and now has an able ally in Ayoze Perez. Wilfried Ndidi, James Maddison and Ben Chilwell have carried on from where they left off last season. Individual players hitting peak form has been key to Leicester's success so far. Newer players like Youri Tielemans and Çağlar Söyüncü have slotted in well, helping the side's cause.
Rodgers' tactics are also very simple. Leicester play a 4-1-4-1, with full-backs given the luxury to move upfront. The midfield is also a simple unit, relying on individual quality, with the main aim being to get the ball to Jamie Vardy as fast as possible.
