Leicester City is currently struggling in the Premier League, facing relegation threats reminiscent of their earlier seasons. After sacking coach Steve Cooper, the appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy as the new boss has not yielded positive results, as the team has only managed to win one out of their last twelve matches. Despite a current five-point gap from safety, Van Nistelrooy remains optimistic, asserting their mathematical chances and commitment to fight. However, concerning statistics, including a lack of scoring and numerous own-goals, provide a bleak outlook for the team’s survival hopes.
Indeed their current situation is not as precarious. Back in 2014-15 they were rooted to the foot of the table for much of the season, only climbing off it in April as a run of seven wins from their final nine games took them to unexpected safety.
We are going to get up again,” vowed boss Ruud van Nistelrooy after the game. “We are still in this fight, mathematically we are there and we keep fighting as long as we can.
In Leicester's favour, however, is time. A five-point deficit is not insurmountable and they have the chance to turn things around.
No side has conceded more own-goals in the Premier League this season than Leicester City (three, level with West Ham and Wolves).
