Merson quickly corrected himself, but he couldn't cover up the blunder as the rest of the studio cackled in hysterics.

The win puts the Foxes up to 12th in the league, a far cry from their high-flying league position at the same point last season.


Next up for Claudio Ranieri's side a trip to north London to face Tottenham, who are the only side to remain unbeaten all season having drawn 0-0 with Bournemouth earlier on Saturday.
