Leicester City’s season went from bad to worse on Tuesday night when they suffered a defeat away to Burnley. A Sam Vokes goal in the final minutes of the game gave the Clarets a massive victory over last season’s champions.It means that Claudio Ranieri’s side have most definitely been drawn into a relegation battle, as Foxes fans had feared for weeks. They now sit only two points above the relegation zone and have a very tough few months ahead.It’s hard to escape a free-fall and this stat from Opta shows that you’d class their current form as a free-fall.
They’re the only team in the Premier League to have not scored a goal, never mind won a game. With the likes of Jamie Vardy badly lacking form and Islam Slimani away on international duty, they’ve struggled to find a cutting edge in the final third.
Unless Ranieri can find the correct blend of his attacking options, he’s going to see his team slip further down the table.
