Leicester are making a habit of starting slowly so far this season.

They had just one shot in the first half against Aston Villa and that was in the 44th minute (Villa had scored one goal and had six shots by then).

They also only had just one shot in the first half in their opening game against Spurs.

In all this season, they've had seven shots in the opening half and 19 after the break.
