It's been a long and arduous campaign back in the Premier League for Leicester City and their long-suffering supporters. I am one of them, so I can attest to the awkwardness. It is also never nice to increasingly dread watching your beloved team every week. However, that is the current scenario for many of us in the Blue Army. We remain loyal and committed, but our patience has been tested by the club itself.
I recently asserted that if the Foxes couldn't manage to muster results of any kind versus Brentford and West Ham United, they'd probably end up relegated. I mean, even with hypothetical wins in those fixtures City would still have the very difficult task of survival. But the east Midlanders would certainly have more of a chance than they do now.
Yet, as some of us witnessed in the celebrated and much publicised 2014/15 Great Escape season, anything can happen in football! One-time LCFC manager Nigel Pearson helped save the King Power outfit that year. And Leicester were in a similar position to where they find themselves right now. That term, the side managed a culminating seven wins from their remaining nine matches. If Leicester City can create momentum in their upcoming games, the run-in may be fascinating!
I'm not for one minute suggesting Leicester are good enough to stay in the EPL. However, ordinarily the last five clashes would be almost ideal in attempts to avoid the drop.
First of all, LCFC meet Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 26. Subsequently it's Southampton. Nottingham Forest are up next.
The penultimate top flight contest is versus Ipswich Town. Then the last match of 2024/25 is against Bournemouth.
There's just one problem: the six upcoming outings we have. Chelsea, Manchester United, Man City, Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion and finally Liverpool on April 20.
