In the 2015/16 season, Leicester City pulled off one of the most incredible underdog stories that football has ever seen.

Having narrowly avoided relegation in the previous season, Claudio Ranieri guided the Midlands club to the Premier League title, finishing ten points clear of Arsenal in second.

Five years on, the Foxes are back at the summit of English football, sitting one point ahead of Manchester United at the time of writing. A 2-0 home victory over Chelsea gave them their 12th win of the season at the halfway mark.

This has raised the question: is this current side better than the one that lifted the trophy Leicester legend Gary Lineker has weighed in with his thoughts, claiming that the present team is superior.

This is a better side with more depth and tactically much more flexible, but the opposition is currently significantly stronger. https://t.co/FKLc4x5VXp
