The champions see themselves 15th in RDA power rankings and also 15th in the EPL. And the best way to account Leicester’s terrible title defence is down to two things: that last year was a huge anomaly, and their newest squad additions are suffering consistency issues. With a resounding win against Man City that showed everyone they’re still the real deal, a loss to Bournemouth, and then a draw with Stoke showed that the City game was an anomaly again.

With nine goals in their past five games, the Foxes aren’t having scoring issues in big games, it’s more they are currently playing to their competition. Leicester have also conceded nine goals, Leicester are very similar to Everton in terms of not asserting themselves as a team fighting for European spots. This could also be down to their midweek Champions League games that could be taking a toll on the team. They need to try to keep their intensity at a constant because they don’t seem like they can play at the same level for every game.

Leicester have Everton, West Brom, and Middlesbrough coming up in their next three games and if they don’t get at least four points from these games, Leicester could see themselves as the first team ever in Premier League history to win the league then be relegated the following year.

14th in the RDA power rankings see themselves in a managerial crisis…
