Leicester have so far failed to replicate their emphatic run of last season. Perhaps, nobody has expected a miracle run from them once again. After 10 matchdays, they are 11th in the league table with 12 points. Well, West Ham on the 17th position is just 2 points away. The main problems for Claudio Ranieri’s men is their awful away form. The Foxes haven’t won a single league game outside the King Power stadium this season, lost 4 and drew 1 so far. On the contrary, they are unbeaten at home with 3 wins and 2 draws.
West Brom are 16th in the league table with 10 points, another team alongside West Ham and Middlesbrough who is 2 point short of Leicester. They have managed only 2 wins the whole season and are currently on a 5 match win-less run. They also lost in each of their last two games, the latest a 4-0 thrashing from the hands of Manchester City.
