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.

Market21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for David Anugo

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Leicester City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market31 Aug 2026

Luke Thomas puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Leicester City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Divine Mukasa, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.90

A mark of 7.90 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market31 Aug 2026

Leicester City turn down Accrington Stanley for Josh King

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Leicester City

Jamaal Lascelles was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Tommy Watson

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match29 Aug 2026

Leicester City see off Norwich City

Three points for Leicester City, 2‑0 the final word against Norwich City in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Leicester City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Skipp is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Abdul Fatawu signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Abdul Fatawu and Leicester City agree another 5 years.

Shrewsbury Town join the queue for Josh King

Add another name to the list: Shrewsbury Town have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Josh King. The answer from Leicester City has not changed — yet.

Market10 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Leicester City and Patson Daka

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Stephy Mavididi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
