Leicester are back in the Premier League after they sealed Sky Bet Championship automatic promotion.

It has been a brilliant season for the Foxes under Enzo Maresca, even if they threatened to make a mess of it in the last few months.

Here, the PA news agency charts five key players in their memorable campaign.

Abdul Fatawu

The Ghana winger has made a big impact during his loan spell from Sporting Lisbon. He has scored six goals from the wing, including a hat-trick in the 5-0 mauling of Southampton and has provided 12 assists.

Stephy Mavididi

Mavididi’s form in the first half of the season was a big reason why Leicester looked like they were going to run away with the league. It dropped off after January but a tally of 12 goals and six assists still represents an impressive return.
