IT’S NOT PLEASANT viewing, is it? The reigning Premier League champions are now just one point off the relegation zone after yet another defeat earlier today – this time to Swansea.
It was a fifth consecutive loss for Leicester City and the alarming statistics continue to roll in.
They have now made history: no reigning champions of England’s top division has ever failed to score in six consecutive league games.
They are the only team in Europe’s top 5 leagues not to score a league goal in 2017.
The club has not found the net in over ten hours of top-flight football. Their last goal came on the same day as their last victory – 31 December against West Ham, when Islam Slimani scored in a 1-0 win.
This is Leicester’s longest wait for a goal in 29 years.
On this day just twelve months ago, the Foxes were five points clear at the summit of the Premier League.
Now, relegation is becoming an increasingly likely scenario.
