Remarkable stat this.

 

Since their foundation in 1884, Leicester City (Fosse) have won every game in which they've scored more goals than the opposition.

What about the games where we’ve won by an own goal?

Strange because I remember scoring 3 and losing to Liverpool not so long ago

Just thinking about tomorrow's game and the return of Andy King, who as we all know, he won the League One, Championship and Premier League titles with us in 2009, 2014 and 2016 respectively - making him the first and only player to win the top three divisions with the same team in the Premier League era

 

Does anyone know who are the players that have done it in the non-Premier League era? 

Ipswich Town players. Ted Phillips for example

[FOXSE]

And still the record holders of biggest Premier league away win. PHEW! 😄

Was there they were down to 10 men and had their striker Joe Baker in goal. If I remember correctly.

I was also there, and you are right about Joe Baker going in goal. The pitch was an absolute quagmire if I remember right.

Just heard a companion stat: 

 

This calendar year Leicester has scored more Premier League goals than Chelsea !

[davieG]

Leicester City FC

  · 

 

 

Leicester City have made the best start to a Championship season of any relegated team in the history of the competition.

Nobody has taken more points from the first 8 games after relegation than the Foxes’ 21 points.

[ajthefox]

When they say competition is it essentially referring to the last 30 years and ignoring the old division 2?

[Drink Water]

In every loss this season, both Vardy and Mavididi have not started.

Since football was invented (1992) this Sunday will be the first time two Premier League winners have played each other in the Second Tier.

Of the Pre 1992 winners, there has already been a game outside the top 2 divisions this season.

For a bonus point can anyone name the fixture.

Bolton v Derby?

[Corky]

Derby v Portsmouth?

[Aus Fox]

I was thinking Derby v Portsmouth, completely forgot about Bolton being down there too.

What former english champions have played each other in the fourth tier? I know of one fixture that I wont spoil if others want to guess but thinking their might be more?

Huddersfield against Portsmouth in the seventies? Burnley against Preston in the eighties? Burnley against Wolves in the eighties? Preston against Wolves, also in the eighties? I suspect there are also quite a few other examples.

I think you win, I only got Burnley v Wolves. I think Sheffield United were in the 4th tier at some point too.

Another one to add:

 

Chelsea's points per game over the last 35 league matches is 0.8. 

That would get you relegated in every single Premier League season and have you finish bottom or joint-bottom in the seasons 1997, 1998, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2018.

Burnley against Wolves and vice versa is almost certainly the only fixture of former winners currently in the PL that has also been played in the fourth tier. Sheffield Utd were in the bottom division for only one season, but didn't play any other club that had previously won the title that year (apart from Arsenal in the League Cup).
