The Foxes have enjoyed an excellent start to life back in the second tier, picking up 15 points from their first six league games.
Leicester were beaten for the first time this season as they lost 1-0 at home to Hull City before the international break, but they responded with an emphatic 4-1 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Southampton at St Mary’s on Friday night.
Early goals from Jamie Vardy and Kasey McAteer put the Foxes firmly in control after 18 minutes and although Samuel Edozie pulled one back for the Saints, Wilfred Ndidi restored the visitors’ two-goal advantage before half time.
Stephy Mavididi added a fourth for Leicester in the 67th minute with an outstanding individual effort and the hosts’ misery was compounded when Kamaldeen Sulemana was sent off deep into stoppage time for a tackle on James Justin.
It was a busy summer of transfer activity at the King Power Stadium, with nine new players arriving at the club and on the early evidence, Enzo Maresca looks to have built a squad capable of challenging for promotion in the year ahead.
