Just nine months after the dizzy climax to their 5,000-1 title triumph, Leicester face the prospect of becoming England`s first defending champions to be relegated since Manchester City in 1938.
Beaten only three times last season, they have lost 13 times already this term -- losing their last four league games without scoring a goal -- and are still to win a single game away from home.
Leicester`s woes are embodied by the dismal form of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, the rough-cut attacking stars whose goals and assists catapulted the Foxes to the title last May.
Leicester`s top scorer in 2015-16 with 24 goals, Vardy has found the net only five times since the start of the campaign.
Mahrez won a glut of individual awards after scoring 17 goals and supplying 11 assists last term, but the Algeria winger has scored only three times and created just two goals since the start of the season
