The 1975–76 season started very poorly for the Foxes as they went on a 15-game winless run that saw them languishing in the relegation places but after a 3–2 home win over Burnley in November which ended that run, matters picked up healthily which saw Leicester finish in a satisfying and comfortable 7th place.
