  By Oli Dickson Jefford In a fairly open start to the Premier League season, Leicester are one team who have struggled.  The FA Cup champions sit 12th in the table with only 15 points so far, having already lost five times in the league this season. There have been highs - notably a win over Manchester United - but for a team with European ambitions, it’s been a disappointing start overall.
