My Season Highlight: Christian Fuchs
The former Austria captain made a total of 48 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions last term, including nine outings in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite the magic of City's maiden adventure in European football's top club competition, Fuchs looked back to a crucial 3-1 success over Liverpool in Craig Shakespeare's first match in charge.
Fuchs' highlight:
"I definitely have to mention the Champions League campaign but, for me, the Liverpool game at King Power Stadium was a crucial one.
"To come back after a lot of criticism and come back very strong with a winning streak [was great].
"There are a couple of moments but that one is a nice one to look back on."

Match round-up:
Leicester City 3-1 Liverpool
Monday 27 February, 2017
Premier League
Goals: Vardy 28, 60, Drinkwater 39; Coutinho 68
Attendance: 32,034
With the help of a Jamie Vardy brace, Leicester City swept aside Liverpool 3-1 thanks to an emphatic performance at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes, under the stewardship of caretaker manager Craig Shakespeare, outworked, outclassed and outscored Jurgen Klopp’s high-flying Reds to record their first Premier League win of 2017 and move out of the bottom three in turn.
Vardy could have opened the scoring with seven minutes gone after bringing down Kasper Schmeichel’s long ball before forcing Simon Mignolet into a fine save with his legs, but that did not affect the No.9’s positivity.
Following a period of sustained pressure, City took the lead through Vardy. Created by a perfectly-weighted through-ball from the tireless Marc Albrighton, the England international burst through before slotting in to break the deadlock.
Vardy stole the show with a stunning volley in this fixture last term but the goal of the game undoubtedly went to Danny Drinkwater, who with just six minutes of the first half to play, slammed home a stunning half-volley from 25 yards.
Just as he had done against the Reds on home soil last term, Vardy then went on to net a brace.
A superb move on the left flank eventually saw Christian Fuchs chop inside onto his right foot and curl into City’s No.9, who flicked home a fine header for 3-0 with an hour on the clock.
Klopp’s side pulled one back after Philippe Coutinho calmly slotted in from the edge of the box, but that did not faze the Foxes, who throughout exuded the confidence that they had so sorely missed in recent games.
