Leicester City 2026/27 League One Preview
Two relegations in three seasons have taken Leicester City from the Premier League to League One, and the adjustment has been uncomfortable. Nine points from seven games leaves them 14th, with a 4-3 win at Stockport and a 2-0 defeat of Plymouth offset by a 4-0 home thrashing by Oxford.
Russell Martin has leaned on youth alongside the survivors of the drop. Louis Page has been the standout creative force with three assists, 11 chances created and 30 corners taken, while Sammy Braybrooke has created 15 from midfield. Harry Souttar anchors the back four and Alex McCarthy has made 17 saves without yet keeping a clean sheet.
Twenty-third and 46 points in the Championship was a season to forget, and the squad has been stripped back accordingly. Leicester have more individual quality than most at this level; turning it into the consistency required to get out at the first attempt is the challenge Martin has been handed.

Leicester City’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Emil Riis
- Free-Kicks: Harry John Howell, Kamari Olivier Newby Doyle
- Corners: Louis Page, Sammy Braybrooke
Louis Page has taken 30 of Leicester City’s corners to Sammy Braybrooke’s 6. Harry John Howell has had two of the direct free-kicks. Leicester City are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Emil Riis, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
