Another month containing the good, bad and the ugly. A devastating counter-attacking display against the darlings of the Premier League in Leeds, and a narrow win against Wolves saw the Foxes ascend to the summit of the league once more.

However, this was tempered by a humbling reverse at Anfield as LCFC were comprehensively outclassed by a resurgent Liverpool side.

Subsequently, Rodgers’ outfit put in an unacceptable display against a Fulham side struggling at the bottom of the league. Conceding a penalty to a team who had missed their last three spot-kicks, made Leicester the butt of further jokes.

In Europe, the situation was much rosier. Braga, the top seeds of Leicester’s UEL group, were comfortably dispatched at the KPS, aided by a brace from an otherwise struggling Iheanacho.

In the reverse fixture at Braga’s magnificent Municipal stadium, a last-minute equaliser from Jamie Vardy saw City qualify for the knock-out stages dramatically, when defeat seemed almost certain.

Despite Leicester remaining in the Champions League spaces, issues were starting to rise with a worrying 3 defeats already at home indicative of Leicester’s inability to break down the deep block.
