Leicester City are facing a second successive relegation (Picture: Getty/Metro)Leicester City have lost their appeal against a six point deduction which puts them in severe danger of being relegated to the third tier for just the second time in their 142 year history. It’s been a real fall from grace for a club who were Premier League champions ten years ago this season, and who are now facing a second successive relegation after they finished 18th in last season’s top flight. 16-year-old Jeremy Monga has appeared in 24 league games this season, but could be sold to improve Leicester’s finances. Relegation in 2023 came as a bit of a shock and the club were desperate to bounce straight back up. The 2016 title win was remarkable and offered Leicester a chance to establish themselves as more than just another top flight team.
