Leicester City has etched its name in the annals of football history, albeit for an unenviable reason.
The club has become the first team in Football League history to lose eight consecutive home league matches without scoring a single goal. This record-breaking streak was solidified following their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes' struggles have been emblematic of a challenging season, with their offensive woes and defensive vulnerabilities leaving them perilously close to relegation. Their last home goal dates back to December 8, 2024, when Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored a late equalizer against Brighton & Hove Albion. Since then, Leicester has failed to find the back of the net at home, a drought that has compounded their difficulties in the Premier League.
Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took over in November, has faced mounting pressure as the team continues to falter. Despite his efforts to stabilize the squad, the results have not improved, leaving Leicester fans disheartened and the club's future in the top flight uncertain.
This unprecedented run of form has not only set a new low for Leicester but also serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that come with competing at the highest level of English football. As the season progresses, the Foxes will need to regroup and find a way to reverse their fortunes, or they risk facing the harsh reality of relegation.
