"Losing their Premier League status last season, it is no secret that Leicester opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights firmly set on clinching an immediate top-flight return. However, enduring what has quickly become a public crisis and rightfully facing a tremendous backlash from around the King Power, the pressure on Marti Cifuentes' shoulders has now reached a boiling point."
"Last seen getting the New Year underway with a routine 3-1 loss away at Sheffield United, the Foxes have lost three of their previous four Championship appearances and they have come tumbling out the top-half of the standings. Now facing a major uphill battle in the race to even punch a play-off ticket, Leicester have also continued to show a string of inconsistencies in front of their own supporters. Despite signing off 2025 with a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Derby, the former QPR boss has seen his struggling squad win just a trio of their last 10 Championship showdowns at the King Power."
Leicester began 2025/26 aiming for an immediate Premier League return after relegation. Marti Cifuentes faces intense pressure amid growing public backlash at the King Power. Leicester lost three of their previous four Championship matches and have tumbled out of the top half of the table. Home form has been inconsistent, with only three wins from the last ten league matches at the King Power. West Brom also returned to losing ways at the start of the New Year and occupy a similarly precarious position. Both sides urgently require an upturn in form to reignite promotion hopes and avoid further decline.
