For the 2014/15 season, Leicester City finally made it back into the Premier League. Leicester City spent the last decade in the Championship and League One.

They came close to making it back to the top tier in 2010, and of course in 2013. Last season, Leicester City topped the Championship table with a staggering 102 points, and a nine-point lead. But since returning to the top flight, they have struggled massively with the pressure. Where did it all go wrong for Nigel Pearson’s side?

In their first four Premier League games, Leicester City managed to bag just two points out of a potential twelve. The points came from draws with Everton and Arsenal - which should be considered a result. It’s no surprise that Leicester lost to Chelsea, but unfortunately also lost to Stoke.

Their fifth game of the season, though, is one that will surely go down in their history. The emphatic 5-3 win over Manchester United. A big win, over a ‘Big Six’ side, and on home turf. This win was not an indication of things to come for Nigel Pearson’s squad though, as they would not go on to secure another win in the league until January.

In the FA Cup, on the other hand, Leicester found themselves progressing all the way to the fifth round. Leicester City claimed victories over Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur - two sides they could not overcome in the Premier League. Yet, Leicester City lost their place in the FA Cup to Aston Villa, the side they recorded their last win against in January.

Leicester’s poor form has not just been away, it has also been at home. Leicester City have been in the relegation zone since November - after losing 3-2 to fellow relegation candidates Queens Park Rangers. This poor form, and now being dead last in the Premier League table, did not make things easy for them when it came to the January transfer window.

Deals struggled to come together for Nigel Pearson, but he was able to secure the signings of Andrej Kramaric and Mark Schwarzer. Unfortuantely, these signings were not enough to bring Leicester City out of the dreaded bottom three. With nine games left to go, Leicester City have just 19 points to their name.

It almost seems like a waste for Leicester City to drop back down to the Championship after all these years and following such a successful run last year. But, it is not uncommon for recently promoted sides to be relegated in the first season at the top tier.

With their new found Premier League experience, Leicester City could go on to top the Championship again, and work their way back up to the top flight.
