Life at Leicester City continues to be one of disappointment after another weekend defeat.
Chelsea were the side that beat Leicester at the weekend to leave Premier League relegation a near-certainty.
The loss now means that Ruud van Nistelrooy is one of the worst managers in the top flight after 15 games.
With Manchester United to come next on the Leicester fixture list, a win is desperately needed in the final game before the international break.
Still, there’s a lot going on around the King Power Stadium so here is the latest Leicester City News.

Transfers aren’t the priority right now for Leicester, but the rumour mill is never quiet.
Leicester were interested in Alisson from Atletico Mineiro in the January transfer window but a move never came to fruition.
But, any plans to go back in for the 19-year-old appear to be dead in the water after Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk reportedly agreed a deal to sign the Brazil U20 star for £11.8m.

Enzo Maresca is never one to shy away from an honest verdict and was asked about his former club’s situation.
Maresca was left frustrated by Van Nistelrooy’s tactical change which saw the Dutchman move to a 5-3-2 formation but still had plenty of positives to say about his former club.
Leicester’s owners and director of football Jon Rudkin have come under intense pressure from the fanbase over the course of the last few months.
However, Maresca was very complimentary of the pair and has backed them to turn their fortunes around.
Meanwhile, the Italian was also upset about Leicester’s current league position but hopes that they can stay up.
