Leicester City's dream campaign shows no sign of stopping. The Foxes sit top of the English Premier League, despite starting the season as one of the favorites to be relegated.
Jamie Vardy is one of the key reasons for Leicester's success. He has been in sensational form and recently set a new EPL record by scoring in 11 consecutive matches.
Claudio Ranieri's return to English football has so far been a success. Eleven years after being sacked as Chelsea boss, the 64 year-old has guided Leicester to 10 wins in 16 matches.

Midfielder Riyad Mahrez has been another key plank in the Foxes rapid assent. The Algerian has contributed 12 assists so far this season. Only Arsenal's Mesut Ozil has contributed more (16) in the Premier League.

A high tempo, counter attack game has been the bedrock of Leicester's success along with an impressive team spirit.
Leicester recently provided the coup de gras to Jose Mourinho's second spell at Chelsea. The Foxes recent 2-1 victory marked the Portuguese coach's final game in charge of the reigning English champions.

Leicester City Owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, raised eyebrows when he sacked former boss Nigel Pearson to bring in Ranieri in the close season.

Yet its hard to argue with a run which has seen Leicester outsmart more illustrious and better financed rivals such as Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
