Leicester City overhauled their squad after relegation to League One, bringing in 14 summer signings. They have won only two of seven league games and are 13th, two points off the play-offs. LeicesterMercury.co.uk grades the newcomers so far.

A grades: Emil Riis, already two goals and leading the line, and John Lundstram, two games and a goal with clear authority.

B: Liam Cullen, brighter after a switch to the right. Cs: Harry Howell, Warren O’Hora, Alex McCarthy, Christian McFarlane and Admir Bristric.

Briefly, Howell has impressed among the Brighton loanees, O’Hora mixed, McCarthy steady if inconsistent, McFarlane promising then punished at Oxford, Bristric lively with an Under-21s hat-trick.

Lower marks: Tommy Watson is D/C, Kamari Doyle D, Ilari Kangasniemi D, Conor Chaplin D and Franco Ravizzoli D.

E: Wes Burns, one league goal and outshone on the right, though there is confidence he will come good. The international break offers reset time, with hopes Chaplin is back next month.
