But for a couple of mid-season streaky spells, Leicester City have been largely diabolical this Premier League campaign. In their first seven fixtures, they picked up a single point – their last seven has yielded the same measly total following last night’s defeat to Aston Villa.

The Villans travelled back down the M69 and M6 with all three points following a stunning late winner courtesy of substitute Bertrand Traore, with Ollie Watkins notching the opener to stretch his run of goal scoring on the road to six games. Harvey Barnes had levelled with a stunning equaliser, and here at Foxes of Leicester, we’re outlining three learnings from yet another Foxes defeat.

With Caglar Soyuncu’s form dipping off a cliff in the last twelve months, many had put that down to a perceived spat with Brendan Rodgers after City’s defeat to Tottenham back in May. While this could still have been the case, the omission of the Turkish international from last night’s match day squad suggests that Soyuncu won’t be getting back into the starting XI as some will have hoped post-Rodgers.
