Top 5: Premier League Survival ‘Great Escapes’

2. Leicester City – 2014/15

In the season before Leicester City completed their fairy tale run to the Premier League title, they narrowly avoided being sent immediately back to the second tier.

It was their first season back in the top division since 2004, and with only nine games to play, the Foxes were seven points off safety and hadn’t won in eight games.

However, Nigel Pearson’s men went on to win seven of their last nine games to climb out of the bottom three.

To top it off, they thrashed already relegated QPR 5-1 on the final day of the season to finish 14th.
