Leicester City, the team that surprised everyone when it was proclaimed newly promoted champion, is not going through one of its best seasons, it is currently in tenth position accumulating only seven wins, totaling 26 points, after half of the season Leicester City has had the misfortune of having three postponed matches, After beating Watford in FA Cup they have not returned to know the victory losing against Tottenham and drawing a goal with Brighton, the schedule for the Foxes is quite complicated since they will face teams that are fighting directly with them in the Premier League, also they will face Liverpool, so the FA Cup will be a good parameter to measure at what level the team is.
