Did you know that despite a terribly uneven English Football League championship campaign so far, Leicester City Football Club remain just five points out of the playoff section. It’s actually outstanding considering that consistency has totally has eluded Foxes head coach Marti Cifuentes and his team.
I’m not telling you all this to convince you of anything, I’m simply illustrating the facts. before actually doing it try to influence you towards my opinion. Not to mention I’ll be detailing predictions and expectations from other EFL writers ahead of LCFC (what an ironic term to have a Midlands rival for the evening) hosting Derby County on Monday night.

So Cifuentes may not be in as precarious a situation on Filbert Way as some of us in the Blue Army imagined (or hoped, in some cases). It must also be said that it is difficult to predict how he will feel inside the King Power Stadium, towards the former Queens Park Rangers player.
The majority of City fans expected that the Catalan had already been dismissed from his role at Leicester by president Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha (or Khun Top). Results indicated as such due to a poor overall performance juxtaposed with the ambitions of the organization. However, another key factor is very likely to grant Cifuentes a stay of execution: financing.
The owner apparently could not have afforded or justified the funds required to sack Ruud van Nistelrooy last season. Top couldn’t rehire anyone serious for financial reasons either. So we could be stuck with Cifuentes for a while, even if City lose to the Rams.
