What will be the tactics?

After the dismissal of Claudio Ranieri in February, Craig Shakespeare made an instant return to the 4-4-2 formation and it is clearly one that enables Leicester to flourish. By utilising pace on the flanks and in attack, Leicester can break quickly and hit teams on the counter-attack.

Who looks the most exciting signing?

It is impossible to look beyond Kelechi Iheanacho. Signed for £25m, he arguably deserved more of a chance at Manchester City but he has the potential to drastically improve.

Which unknown could make a name for themselves?

This is a big season for Ben Chilwell but the word from inside Leicester is to keep an eye out for young midfielder Harvey Barnes. Just 19, he is already highly-regarded by Shakespeare.

Who’s the one player they cannot do without?

Jamie Vardy (left) remains as integral as ever, but Kasper Schmeichel will be key, provided he stays beyond the summer. He is the glue that holds Leicester together and it is really a surprise that he has not been snapped up.

How safe is the manager?

Leicester’s ambitious owners proved they are not averse to controversial decisions when they sacked Ranieri last season, and while Shakespeare is less beloved by the supporters – though still popular – he is admired in the boardroom and will be given a chance. If Leicester do drop into the bottom three late in the season, things may change, however.

Who would be the most appropriate celebrity fan?

Donald Trump: an unexpected but bombastic and head-turning ascent, followed by the realisation that being top dog is just very stressful after all.
