Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha News

Leicester dismissed Puel on Sunday with the club 12th in the league on 32 points having lost five of their last six games, including a 4-1 hammering at home by Crystal Palace on Saturday that sealed Frenchman Puel`s fate.

The club plan to hand out commemorative scarves, pin badges, banners and souvenir programmes at Saturday`s game, which has also been designated the club`s annual Remembrance Fixture.

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five killed in the crash near the King Power Stadium after Leicester`s last home league match on Oct. 27.

Pearson is credited with saving Leicester from relegation in 2014-15, his side winning seven of their last eight matches, before he was sacked after disagreements with the board.

Vichai died along with four others when his helicopter crashed and then exploded outside the club`s King Power Stadium after a Premier League match against West Ham United.

The victory on Monday night brings defending champions Manchester City to 26 points, the same as likewise undefeated Liverpool, with the Manchester based side leading on goal difference.

The helicopter crashed just yards from the pitch in the club`s car park. Team manager Claude Puel was not on the helicopter, the source said.

The 25kg trophy has been decorated with ribbons of blue, for Leicester, and yellow, representing the royal house of Thailand, home country of club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

He said the Foxes` improbable table-topping feats proves cash is not always king.
