The Foxes endured an incredibly disappointing campaign last season as they were relegated from the Premier League, but they are in a strong position to bounce back to the top flight at the first time of asking.
Leicester recorded their second consecutive victory with an emphatic 4-0 win over Plymouth Argyle at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Stephy Mavididi’s penalty put the Foxes ahead in the 14th minute, and three early second half goals from Patson Daka, Mavididi and Wilfred Ndidi secured another three points.
Enzo Maresca’s men currently sit top of the table, one point clear of second-placed Ipswich Town and eight points clear of third-placed Leeds United, and they are back in action when they host Millwall on Wednesday nig
With the January transfer window fast approaching, Maresca will be hoping that he can keep hold of his key players as he looks to lead his side to promotion.
However, one player who is likely to attract interest is midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, and with his contract set to expire in the summer, Leicester are facing a big decision on his future.
Leicester managed to retain Ndidi after relegation, despite interest from Celtic, Nottingham Forest and Bayern Munich, with the Foxes said to have been demanding £20 million for his services.
Ndidi has played a key role for the Foxes this season, netting his fourth goal of the campaign against Plymouth on Saturday, while he has also registered five assists in 19 appearances in all competitions.
