For all their inconsistent results this term, Leicester's credible 1-1 draw against the league leaders means they find themselves just three points off newly-promoted Wolves, who are currently sitting pretty in seventh place with 35 after 24 games.

The Foxes have lost more games (10) than they have won (9) under Claude Puel this term and naturally, pressure has continued to rise on the Frenchman's shoulders after narrow defeats and disappointing results against winnable opposition.

Slender losses against Southampton and the aforementioned Wolves in recent weeks haven't helped matters, after a tricky Christmas period which was worsened following their shock FA Cup defeat by League Two side Newport County on January 6.

However, not all is bad at the King Power. They have shown a steely determination to perform well against top sides.
