Manchester United 5 Leicester City 2: We must be mad
2300 brave, or mad, Leicester City fans who trudged up to Old Trafford for the Carabao Cup tie. A lot of these fans will be making the trip again in a couple of weeks for the league game. Were they rewarded for their efforts? Becky Taylor was one of them reporting back.
Leicester City 1 Nottingham Forest 3: The search for scapegoats
As the temporarily red segment of the King Power Stadium celebrated wildly at the end of a chastening night for Leicester City supporters, in the home sections the search for scapegoats was well underway.
Southampton 2 Leicester City 3: Fatawu the orchestrator in crazy comeback
Winless Southampton and a Leicester side who have had their fair share of good times at St Mary's. You'd have thought our luck, and efforts, were running out based on the half time score and first half performance. But supporting Leicester City is bonkers. Strap in.
Aston Villa 0 Leicester City 0: The 94th minute, 39 hours later
After the 90 minutes were up and the fourth official signalled a further four were to be played, it was in the fourth of these minutes that the ball fell to a player in a claret and blue shirt exactly six yards from goal.
Leicester City 0 Crystal Palace 2: Home truths as the Eagles land historic firsts
Crystal Palace are the latest promoted team to try their luck at avoiding relegation from the WSL at the first attempt. Bristol City failed to bridge that gap last season, although the previous two years saw the newly-promoted sides stay up. In 2023, it was Liverpool. In 2022, it was Leicester City.
Leicester City 1 Bournemouth 0: Finally, that winning feeling for Cooper
Leicester's record against Bournemouth, coupled with recent form, didn't leave many feeling confident pre match. The odds of a stalemate were high, so be honest, who had a tight 1-0 and a clean sheet on this week's bingo card?
Arsenal 4 Leicester City 2: Another Jekyll and Hyde show in London
Arsenal were looking to make it a sixth straight win over Leicester. The Foxes are still chasing a first league win and that was unlikely at the Emirates. What the travelling fans wanted to see was a reaction, some fight. But this is Leicester and we're a mad club, so strap in.
Walsall 0 Leicester City 0 (0-3 on pens): A tale of two Welshmen
Back in the halcyon days of 2023 and the past beyond, if your unimportant football club was drawn away from home against even less glamorous opposition in an early round of the least prestigious competition, you had so many outs.
Liverpool 1 Leicester City 1: A new start, a familiar finishing Finn
This is a new era for Leicester City Women - as we covered last week, there are new faces in defence, in midfield and up front. But most of all, this is now Amandine Miquel’s time. And to properly start a new era with a new statement, you need to get a result.
Leicester City 1 Everton 1: Thunder and lightning, very very frightening
Two relegation-threatened teams duelling themselves to a futile draw, played out to the backdrop of one of the most apocalyptic weather displays you’re likely to see in English football. Pure Barclays.
Crystal Palace 2 Leicester City 2: A choose your own villain adventure in London
Away trips to Crystal Palace have felt pretty miserable for a few years now. But Leicester went 2-0 up. And then decided to channel Everton by inspiring hope and ripping it away. A sucker punch end to our Selhurst Park visit.
Leicester City 1 Aston Villa 2: Searching for the right balance
In the final match before a two week international break, Steve Cooper's Foxes took on a Aston Villa side who just learnt their Champions League opponents. Fine margins cost us again but there were positive signs if we can strike a defensive-attacking balance.
Leicester City 4 Tranmere Rovers 0: Ayew ready and Alves shines
Tranmere were the visitors to the King Power as Leicester’s Carabao Cup campaign got underway. A cup run could be a nice distraction from Premier League scrapping. The Foxes are into the third round after some well worked goals for old and new faces.
Fulham 2 Leicester City 1: Stubborn but falling short
The Foxes travelled to Craven Cottage to face Fulham, their first of three trips to London in a month. A first defeat on the road, but a narrow one on paper. Though with the transfer clock ticking, we really, really need a striker.
Leicester City 1 Tottenham Hotspur 1: It’s Jamie Vardy’s world
On a night where any of Leicester City’s split personalities might have shown up, it was the Good, Rustling version that battled its way to an unlikely point. Positive points, in August? That’s insane!
RC Lens 3 Leicester City 0: A headache for the optimists
When was the last time Leicester City fans went into a new season with the current degree of hopelessness? You’d have to go back a long way to find an example.
Leicester City 0 Blackburn Rovers 2: Szmodics double doesn't stop the Vardy party and tributes
The last day of a long, chaotic season saw Blackburn Rovers come to town. Leicester City were crown a week-long party but Rovers needed a win to secure safety, so…you can all write the script on this one.
