Six games played, three points gained, sitting just outside the relegation zone of the Premier League. The King Power side have an absolutely monumental task ahead of them to retain their status in the top-flight, and the next four games will have a lot to say about whether Steve Cooper can guide the Championship champions to survival.

Bournemouth, Southampton, Nottingham Forest, and Ipswich Town. Two of those teams were promoted with Leicester, one tip-toed with relegation last season, and Bournemouth have been defeated by the Foxes in their recent match-up last season. These games will determine whether Cooper has much a chance at all. However, he will need to make some changes.

Leicester City's loss to Arsenal explained

The Welshman was not expected to defeat the Gunners. Nevertheless, thanks to heroics from James Justin and a seemingly stylistic preference to playing good football in one half, Leicester had played themselves into a drawing position. They only lost it in added time with an own-goal and 99th minute stamp from Kai Havertz finalising the loss.
