Leicester City under Brendan Rodgers have got off to a stumbling start in the Premier League. Here are the key facts in stats and what they mean.

After seven games played, Leicester have won five games and lost two, defeating clubs such as Manchester City, Burnley, and Arsenal. This was the start to the 20/21 season.

By comparison, the opening seven games of the 21/22 season has seen three losses, two wins, and two draws. The Foxes sit 13th and look ridiculously out of form.

Of course, there are reasons for this. For this article though, I want to focus on the facts. How have we played from a statistical and stylistic standpoint, and who has been our most influential player.

For the stats, I have used Understat and Sofascore, and have been collating these statistics after every match played. Bear in mind that every stat I mention is an accumulation across every match. On the upcoming page, Foxes of Leicester looks at the data. Please click below to access that.
