Leicester City was again relegated in 2004 and even dropped as low as League One in 2008 before making it back to the EPL in the 2014-2015 season. In 2015-2016, Leicester City pulled off one of the greatest upsets in sports history when they finished in first place and won the EPL, just two seasons removed from the Championship. The club had entered the season with 5,000 to 1 odds to win the EPL. Since 1992, Leicester City has won two League Cups.
