Giving out charity gifts at hospitals is a familiar activity for goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and his teammates. This year, the action has more meaning when the team won the Premier League championship for the first time in history. |

Leicester and many other Premier League teams will have almost no time off over Christmas and New Year. The league will be playing more matches during this period. |

Leicester recently lost 1-0 to Bournemouth. This defeat left the defending champions in 14th place out of 20 teams in the 2016-2017 Premier League. They are now just four points above the relegation zone. |

In contrast, Leicester have been more successful in the Champions League. They have qualified for the next round by finishing top of Group G. In the round of 16, they will face Sevilla. |
