While West Brom are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship, one of the sides who fell short in last season’s survival battle were Leicester.
The Foxes are now languishing in 18th in League One, with just five points from their opening five games.
They are already seven points behind leaders Sheffield Wednesday, who won just two games in the Championship last season albeit under exceptional circumstances, and lost their last game 4-0 at home against the other side to come down, Oxford United.
The momentum at the King Power is firmly downwards, but it has to change at some point, right?
On Saturday they travel to Stockport (15:00 BST).
When the Foxes were enjoying their finest hour, winning the Premier League in 2015-16, the Hatters finished ninth in National League North – 125 places below.
Five years ago, when Leicester last played in Europe and finished eighth in the Premier League, County were in the National League.
Both clubs are under new stewardship this season, but Jimmy McNulty has Stockport 15 places higher than Russell Martin’s men and Hatters fans will be hoping to continue that momentum in the first league meeting between the sides in 18 seasons.
