Leicester City are destined for a second relegation from the Premier League in three years. After the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, the Foxes need a miracle.
The problems on the pitch are for another day. Big picture-wise, Leicester are in a position they haven’t been in since before King Power’s takeover. The fans are no longer the ‘twelfth man’ or playing their part to the maximum.
And who can blame them? A 7pm kick-off on a Sunday evening when your team are odds on favourite to be relegated to the Championship was always going to be a factor in the number of supporters which filled into the King Power Stadium at the weekend.
