Grounds manager John Ledwidge told ITV News Central that they prepared a poppy shaped stencil and brushed the grass into the shape of the flower by hand.
The pitch tribute came before Leicester's 1-2 loss to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, which brought to an end the Foxes home unbeaten record which had stood for over a year.

The club supported the Poppy Appeal with players also wearing special poppy decorated shirts. The poppy shirts began at Leicester City in 2003.
