Abdul Fatawu runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Leicester City may not be able to give Jakub Stolarczyk what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Jakub Stolarczyk wants continental football; whether Leicester City can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Jamaal Lascelles in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leicester City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A late step up for Jakub Stolarczyk
At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Josh King is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Match19 Sep 2026
3 matches without a goal for Leicester City
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Oliver Skipp falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match19 Sep 2026
No goals between Leicester City and Derby County
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Derby County will be the happier side with the point.

Luke Thomas shuts the door
Defensive actions: 8, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
In brief
