When Covid kicked in they were starting to wobble, and had some injuries. The break gave them a chance to recover.
It was also the first year of VAR in the league and referees were refusing to make decisions unless a player went to ground, it's no surprise that a team who's main tactics was to run fast and throw themselves to the ground at the lightest touch did well that year by 'winning' games through soft decisions going their way by playing on referees insecurities.
I don't think it's a massive coincidence that Liverpool and Leicester have struggled to adapt since referees have decided that contact doesn't necessarily mean foul. Liverpool have kind of got their act together but Leicester have been more exposed by the changes.

Nah, they won the league fair and square that season. They were 20 odd points clear.

It’s just a shame there was no one there to see it.
 
Is it too early to call that Dick Van Dyke will ring in sick before our match.
He must hold on to his " Never lost at anfield" record.
Started calling it last night at work and it certainly created a reaction.
Personally I want him to play but this might test his mental strength, play and be run ragged or duck out to keep his greatest ever dipper defender intact.
