It seems like a lot longer than four years since a Leicester side featuring Riyad Mahrez, N’Golo Kante and managed by Claudio Ranieri swept to the Premier League title and became 5,000-1 winners.

 Massive outside bets at the start of the 2015/16 season, Leicester City came into what would be the most successful season of their 111-year history at the time amid massive changes. Due to a scandal involving his son, Nigel Pearson, who had guided the club to an improbable escape from relegation in the previous season, left the club.

In Pearson’s place came Claudio Ranieri, also known as ‘The Tinkerman’ during his time in football management. That reputation, however, was to change dramatically in just a single season.

Many new faces came in during a summer of growth, with players like N’Golo Kante (£5.6m), Robert Huth (£3m) and Shinji Okazaki (£7m) all signing during a busy pre-season. Friendlies mostly yielded easy victories, but a 3-2 comeback win against Birmingham City when Leicester went into the half-time break 2-0 down hinted at the resolve that was already building in the squad.
