Claudio Ranieri's ruthless sacking last week remains the main talking point not just at Leicester City but the Premier League. But it appears they are close to filling their managerial vacancy.
Assistant manager Craig Shakespeare has taken in charge as caretaker, and he got his reign off to a brilliant start by securing three vital points against Liverpool.
The Foxes rediscovered their form from last season as Jamie Vardy bagged a brace while Danny Drinkwater scored a sublime goal.

The 3-1 victory steered them out of the relegation spaces, moving them up a few spots to 15th, two points clear of safety.
But while it appeared Shakespeare was in contention to get the main gig, news is breaking that the club have held secret talks with Roy Hodgson.
Reports from the Mail claim that Hodgson met Leicester's representatives in London last Friday in view to becoming their new manager.
