The 2015 Premier League Champions have not enjoyed the best of starts to the season. Leicester City have managed to win only two points in their last three league matches against Arsenal, Leeds United and Chelsea respectively.

The Foxes currently lie in 12th position in the Premier League table. Brendan Rodgers must be well aware of the situation and he himself must be surprised. With the likes of Caglar Soyuncu, Jonny Evans and Wilfred Ndidi present in the side, Leicester City should have been strong defensively.

They have conceded 21 goals this season, winning only 17 points from 12 games. Their European aspirations for next season have been dented but they have enough time to bounce back in the Premier League.


#2 Norwich City

Norwich City were one of three teams to be promoted to the Premier League for the 2021-22 season. Things have gone wrong for the Canaries since the very beginning of the campaign.

Big losses to Chelsea and Manchester City played a major role in breaking Norwich's confidence early in the long season. Despite goalkeeper Tim Krul making a number of amazing saves, the Canaries have struggled to contain sides from scoring.

The last two Premier League matches have resulted in wins for Norwich, but they have still conceded 27 goals. With only eight points so far, they rank 19th in the table and face a daunting task for survival this season.


#1 Newcastle United

The takeover of the Saudi Arabian owners was definitely good news for the Newcastle United supporters. A change in ownership was much needed and hopefully it will bring the changes that have been longed for by the fans.

Despite playing five at the back, the Magpies haven't been strong and compact. Newcastle United have been vulnerable and it has been too easy to break their shape. Teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Spurs and West Ham United have slaughtered them by scoring a number of goals.

Newcastle United have conceded 27 goals this season and despite allowing as many goals as Norwich City, they have lost two more games than the Canaries. The Magpies currently lie at the bottom of the Premier League table and new manager Eddie Howe has a lot to change from here on.
