The poor start made by the Foxes to the Premier League season seems like a distant memory now, as they have turned around their fortunes impressively.
Leicester City will return to domestic action in the EFL Cup following the World Cup break, when they face MK Dons in the round of 16. The poor start made by the Foxes to the Premier League season seems like a distant memory now, as they have turned around their fortunes impressively before domestic fotoball was halted for the showpiece event in Qatar. The break came at a wrong time for Leicester since they were flying in the league at that point.
They registered four victories from their last five league games to be sitting 13th in the table with 17 points from 15 games. Besides, Leicester got past Stockport County and Newport County in the earlier rounds of the EFL Cup. On the other hand, MK Dons have been enduring a forgettable season so far in League One. They are sitting at the 22nd spot with 18 points from 21 games. Their poor run has cost the job for head coach Liam Manning.
