Leicester City have been handed a tough start to the new Premier league season after the fixtures for this campaign were unveiled on Wednesday. Leicester City were promoted from the championship with a record points tally, but even then, they are expected to struggle in the first few months of the campaign. This is because of the Gulf in difference between the Championship and the Premier league. In order to cope with the difference in quality, Leicester would have been fortunate to avoid most of the top teams in the first five matches of the season.
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has said that he will be placing a lot of faith on the team that has won the championship when the club take on top teams in the Premier league next season. Leicester managed to enter the championship season as the winners, while they also collected more than 100 points along the way. In the end, they almost finished 10 points above second placed Burnley. Despite this, there have been rumours that their manager is ready to complete a squad overhaul, which will see them sign several stars in the summer.
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has revealed that he wants to keep most of the players who has helped the club get back to the Premier league next season.
Leiscester City travelled to Ewood Park as they went head to head with Blackburn Rovers and had to settle with a 1-1 draw which was played on March 22. The result sees Leiscester City still remaining at the top of the Football League Championship while Blackburn is in the middle of the standings.
After the match concluded, the manager of Leiscester City, Nigel Pearson had to be hospitalized. According to staff members of the club, he was suffering from sickness before the game and decided to get medical advice as a precautionary measure.
Paul Konchesky is positive that Leicester City would be targeting the Championship title apart from the automatic promotion which they are supposed to get by the end of the season.
Although the automatic promotion is the main thing which the club has in mind right now but he believes that the Championship title may not be far away if the team bucks up and plays well for the rest of the season. He is confident about the players who are there in the team right now and said that City would try their level best to go all the way and lift the Championship trophy.
Leicester City again played with a fearless approach last weekend against AFC Bournemouth and secured their 9th victory on the bounce.
With the three points that they got from that game, the Foxes have now made their position even stronger at the top of the Championship points table. They are 10 points ahead of Queens Park Rangers which is at the second position in the table.
Leicester City are one of the teams challenging for promotion into the Premier league. The club has been viewed as title contenders for much of the last few years, but they have been unable to sustain the challenge throughout the campaign.
This season, it appears to be much better for Nigel Pearson's men, as they have been one of the consistent teams in the Championship. Paul Konchesky is someone who has played in the top flight of English football for the most part of his career. He has represented the likes of Fulham and Liverpool in an illustrious career.
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has revealed that defender Paul Konchesky is a major doubt for the weekend's match against Watford. Konchesky has been one of the consistent players for the team in their push for a promotion to the Premier league.
He is one of the few players in the squad who has experience of playing in the Premier league. He was recently taken off during the halftime of the 4-3 match against Fulham. Leicester were playing against the top division outfit in the Capital One Cup.
Leicester City have made a great start to the season and this is delighted defender Paul Konchesky, who has said that the incredible team spirit within the team is the reason for this start.
Konchesky has been at Leicester City for the last three years and he has never seen such a team spirit according to the defender. After playing 12 matches in the season, Leicester are just three points off the top of the table. So far, they have suffered just one defeat in the league in the match against Charlton.
Leicester City have begun the new Championship season in decent form after managing one victory and a draw from the opening two matches. The club are expected to challenge for promotion spots this time around after failing to reach the Premier league through the play-offs last season.
The club had a big match against Leeds United during the weekend. Leeds are also expected to be one of the promotion challengers this season. The two heavyweights from the Championship fought and the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
