The sacking of Steve Cooper came as quite a surprise this weekend, after Leicester lost their third match in the last four with a close 2-1 defeat to top four hopefuls Chelsea.

Of the three promoted teams from last season Leicester City are currently doing the best this year, but expectations at the King Power were much higher than in Ipswich or Southampton.

Cooper was always facing a stiff test to live up to Enzo Maresca’s standards in Leicester last season and it was rather poetic that the new Chelsea boss put the final nail in Cooper’s managerial coffin.
