IF YOU HAVE checked the English Premier League table lately, yes, you are not imagining things.
Having won all three of their matches, Leicester City FC now sits on top with nine points, ahead of Liverpool and Everton on goal difference.
It is true that it is too early in the season to consider Leicester City’s real chances of winning the title.
In an ultra-competitive league, the club could fail along the way and lose momentum.
On the other hand, making the Prem the most exciting domestic league in the world benefits Leicester.
With so many traditional title contenders chasing the trophy, every once in a while a talented “outsider” like Leicester City has a fair chance to win.
And that is exactly what the club did in the 2015-2016 season: do the unthinkable and win the Premiership.
No one could have imagined that a club that spent much of its time in the second tier Championship League would win the title in just two seasons after promotion to the top flight.
With that feat, the team nicknamed The Foxes earned another nickname: The Unbelievables.
Of course, many experts would regard Leicester’s streak as an anomaly, and they might be right, as the club had a regular streak for the next three seasons, finishing in the middle of the table.
However, last season, a revitalized Leicester City led by manager Brendan Rogers came close to making the top four, dropping a Champions League spot with “only” a fifth place finish.
And yet that should have served as a warning to all pretenders to the throne.
Leicester started the 2020-21 season with a 3-0 road win against West Brom, followed by a 4-2 elimination of Burnley at home.
But what caught everyone’s attention was his 5-2 win over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the first time the club conceded five goals at home in nearly two decades.
In the game on Sunday, September 27, the speedy 33-year-old Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick, bringing his total to five goals this season, nearly half of Leicester’s 12.
Really impressive.
Now watch all teams die from scalping this mythical Premier League creature called The Unbelievables.
