Leicester City have played in and out of the Premier League throughout their history but missed out on being a member of the Premier League after losing the play-off final against Blackburn Rovers in 1992. However, the Foxes would win promotion and were an established Premier League side for the latter half of the decade before a 10-year absence from the Premier League between 2004 and 2014.

In the 2014/15 season after Claudio Ranieri joined the Foxes, they claimed the Premier League crown by 10 points ahead of Arsenal. After the victory, they become one of the teams in the Premier League title winner's history.
