Premier League team to watch No. 5: Leicester City

The first team to watch when the Premier League makes its return is Leicester. After their historic Premier League win, Leicester have continued to grow and remain an exciting team to watch.

Their performances so far this season have seen them reach third place in the league, hot on the heels of second place Manchester City. They sit just three points ahead of Chelsea, with City four points ahead and still holding a game in hand.

Their incredible goal difference is 18 better than Chelsea, which will force their opponents to try even harder to catch them — as drawing on points won’t get them higher up the table.

A top-four finish will help Leicester attract talent with the appeal of Champions League soccer, as well as allowing the club to show the world that they are not just that one-season-wonder team from years past.

Watching Leicester will also showcase their incredible talent, with the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison to enjoy.

This is a team worth watching because they could bring something new to the top four, smashing expectations and keeping some of the conventional ‘top six’ under foot. They are probably the most interesting player in the top-four race, because most would not have expected them to be there.
