Leicester finally broke his losing career of seven games last weekend with a 2-1 shock in Tottenham, but they are still in a serious dog fight at the bottom of the Premier League.
They feel a point above the decrease rivals Wolves and Ipswich, and there is a long way to go. The foxes face Manchester United (twice), Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City in the next two months.
The Ruud Van Nistelrooy manager facilitated the growing pressure on his work with the victory in the Spurs, but has turned on his players behind the scene in recent weeks and will demand reinforcements to keep Leicester's head over the water.
Here, our Leicester expert Tom Collomosse answers the five key questions facing the club when we enter the last days of the transfer window.
What business has Leicester done so far in January and will be happy with him?
There is a growing restlessness between the Fox fans base due to lack of businesses this month.
Woyo Coully is a lonely arrival to Leicester spoiled by the descent during the January window
Although the victory in Tottenham reduced the tension a bit, the team seems short and Leicester needs more than the back Woyo Coulibly, who joined £ 2 million of parma, to fill the holes.
The arrival of Coulibaly allowed Hamza Choudhury to join Sheffield United in loan and the Blades also signed Tom Cannon for £ 10 million.
What do they need to do and have money to spend?
When Ruud Van Nistelrooy was hired, he asked for a full back, a striker, a center on the left side and one end.
Only one of those applications has been granted and Leicester's problems have been given with the Premier League spending rules, the Dutchman will probably be lucky enough to obtain even one more through the door before February 3.
Everything points to the ascending tension and the frustrations of Van Nistelrooy are spilling.

Who do they go to?
Leicester is fighting. They lack the funds or the recruitment structure to operate effectively in a market as difficult as January.
In general, that would leave the Foxes looking for loan offers, but they cannot do it, since they have already filled their two loan slots of the Premier League, with Odsonne Edouard by Crystal Palace and Facundo Buonanotte de Brighton.
Until that problem is solved, Leicester is caught with those two.
Odsonne Edouard's loan has not been planned and is now limiting who can bring Leicester
Facundo Buonanotte has faced Van Nistelrooy before and can return to Brighton
Who could leave?
The agreement for Caleb Okoli last summer has not worked and the defender is looking at a transfer to Italy, where it is a goal for Parma.
Leicester is desperate for canceling Edouard's loan, but Crystal Palace will not do it unless someone takes the Frenchman, who has not yet started a Premier League game this season, permanently.
That means that Buonanotte, who has scored five goals this season, but has faced Van Nistelrooy, could end his loan agreement and return to Brighton.
What players have tried in January and could be “like a new signing” for the rest of the season?
Few Leicester fans were excited when the club signed Bobby Decordova-Reid in a free transfer last summer, but when the extreme has played, he has generally left his mark.
It has been limited to only three openings in the Premier League, but has left the bench 12 times and scored one.
He established both goals in Tottenham last weekend and made positive contributions to victory over West Ham and tied with Brighton at the beginning of Van Nistelrooy's mandate. Wait for more play time in the coming weeks.
