The Story in 60 Seconds

Josh Holland assesses Leicester City's mixed start in League One, identifying four winners and three losers under manager Russell Martin. The Foxes currently sit 14th in the table with only two wins from their opening seven league games after undergoing significant squad overhaul. Holland highlights young midfielder Page, winger Alves, full-back Joseph, and striker Riis as standout performers driving the team.

Conversely, Holland names Caleb Okoli, Wes Burns, and Conor Chaplin as players who have struggled during the opening weeks. Okoli has slipped down the defensive pecking order, Burns has yet to find form since joining from Ipswich Town, and injuries have limited Chaplin to just 36 minutes of league action.
