King Power Stadium, Premier League experience and a group of internationals all point towards a promotion bid. The Leicester City odds should reflect those advantages.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe division has a habit of puncturing reputations, though. Across 46 matches there will be pristine pitches, heavy pitches and games where a loose ball matters more than a clever passing pattern. Technical superiority helps. Coping with the weekly scrap matters too.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin signed a three-year deal in June 2026. His coaching trail has already passed through MK Dons, Swansea, Southampton and Rangers, with promotion at Southampton in 2024 the obvious entry on his CV for Leicester supporters to notice.

Calling it a formality would be a mistake.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hopeful comparison is 2008/09, Leicester’s only previous season at this level. They won the title at the first attempt and returned to the Championship immediately. The current side also has enough established talent to impose itself, especially if Martin gets Stephy Mavididi, Oliver Skipp, Harry Souttar and the new arrivals pulling in the same direction.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWes Burns and Conor Chaplin have been through promotion campaigns with Ipswich. Liam Cullen arrives with years of Championship football behind him. Admir Bristrić offers a new focal point, while young loanees provide the sort of energy a 46-game season tends to consume quickly.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy the caution, then? Because this is a team learning new habits after two dreadful years. A possession-heavy approach needs confidence, movement and brave decision-making in tight spaces. Leicester will also meet opponents who are quite content to defend deep and make the contest ugly. The pretty afternoons will take care of themselves. It is the awkward, stubborn games that may decide whether Leicester finish first, enter the play-offs or miss out.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eWhat Went Wrong in 2025/26?\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp\u003eLast August, the conversation centred on bouncing back to the Premier League.

A six-point punishment for breaking profitability and sustainability rules then narrowed the escape route.

Leicester went too long without clean sheets, rarely found a steady rhythm and looked short of conviction when matches became tense. Cup football offered little relief. The cups delivered one short visit and one slightly longer one: round one in the EFL Cup, round four in the FA Cup.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA new division does at least provide a clean page.
