Brendan Rodgers troops are no doubt in top form in the 2019/20 season; they have only lost to Manchester United and Liverpool this season. Leicester City started their 2019/20 campaign on a very good note drawing against Chelsea in their first game. They are seated in the second position in the league table with 8 points behind Liverpool. Chances are that they are the nearest to displace Jurgen Klopp’s troops and rob them of the EPL title.
Much of the recent media focus has been on the constant battle for the title between Liverpool and Manchester City. The fight now has been shifted from the Citizens to Brendan Rodgers men Leicester City, they have been consistent and in the league so far. Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham should be watching their back if they want to make Champions league slot.
The former Liverpool manager has only lost two games out of their 13 Premier League games this season. The inconsistency in the performance of coaches in the EPL which has resulted in the sacking of some coaches now has helped build the team as well. Brandan Rodger has registered the highest number of goals scored in the Premier League this season.
Away from all that fears in the English Premier League, Brendan Rodger and his troops have continued to do exploit in the league. They have been ruthlessly and quite superbly in all their games, the team proved their worth when they hosted Unai Emery men. Also Saturday’s away victory over Brighton sealing their second-place position in the table.
They are a point above the defending champions Manchester City and three points above Europa League winners Chelsea. The last time they were this resilient in the league they ended up with the league title. Branden Rodger becomes the second to give them five straight successive victory after Claudio Ranieri. The 2-0 win over Brighton means Leicester have equaled their best run of consecutive victories in the Premier League.
Unlike that late-season run four campaigns ago – which comprised four 1-0 wins and a 2-0 success – this current series of victories have come with a mightily impressive aggregate of 17-1. Nine of the goals came in one match which was against Southampton. They are just one short of double figures in a Premier League game is hard to be sniffed at. And it has only happened twice in history.
They still have some work to do if they are to challenge the overall club record for consecutive wins. The record which was lasted seen on the 21st of December and 1st of February in their 2013-14 Championship title-winning season. Brendan Rodgers troop are on the verge of meeting the Premier League record of 18 straight wins, set in 2017-18 by Manchester City. Liverpool came close but Manchester United ended it in their 17th game at Old Trafford in October.
Their next games in the league will be between struggling Everton and Watford then a trip to Villa that is followed by Norwich’s visit to the King Power. They look to have a greater chance of taking all three points in all the games.
Studying Brendan Rodger and his coaching career, you will know the reason behind the improvement in Leicester’s attacking formation. This is the manager whose forward-thinking blueprint gave Liverpool 101 goals in the 2013-14 Premier League season.
They have more emphasis on retaining possession than the way of the former manager Claude Puel and that has helped them perform better. The extra extra intelligence added to the team has helped them build on James Maddison. Perez, Vardy and Youri Tielemans. As a result of this, Brendan Rodgers has the fourth-highest number of shots in the league (147) and the fourth-highest number of chances (139) created.
