Lee Hendrie lists three reasons why Leicester City can be confident after relegation struggles
The former player turned pundit believes Leicester City will be back to turn things at the club around next season if they end up in the Championship
Ruud van Nistelrooy has just nine games left to save Leicester City’s season and avoid a switch to the second division, but one pundit has said he fancies the Foxes’ chances in the Championship.
Leicester are on a disastrous run of form. Losing 13 out of their last 14 games has left them in 19th and with a nine-point mountain to climb to try and clinch safety.
For a second year in a row, the move up to the Premier League has been too much for the newly promoted sides, with the three to have come up this season looking like they’ll be heading back down again.
However a season in the second flight may help the club find their winning ways again. Lee Hendrie believes that will be the case for all the relegated Premier League sides as he believes they’ll be right back in contention at the top of the table.
Speaking to Football League World the former Aston Villa midfielder said: “Will they be fighting for promotion next year? Yes, all three of them – I think so.
“With the way things have been, we have seen a bounce factor when clubs drop back into the Championship from the Premier League because most of these sides going up are the ones with higher budgets, better quality players, and bigger squads.”
