Halfway into the current Premier League season, Leicester City were in second-place and appeared shoo-ins for a Champions League spot.
Despite successive defeats by Liverpool and Manchester City in gameweeks 18 and 19 respectively, Brendan Rodgers’ troops were a point above City, seven ahead of Chelsea in fourth and nine above Wolverhampton Wanderers in fifth place. Notably, Manchester United were eighth, a staggering 11 points adrift of the Foxes before their resurgence since the turn of the year.
After the last round of games, however, Leicester seem to be hanging on to a top four spot with seven games to play.
