Doing a December double over Derby may have offered Leicester fans some festive cheer but it is unlikely to brook the festering resentment against a board whose treatment of staff over Christmas has only exacerbated the ill will around the King Power Stadium.
First-half goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan James sandwiched Rhian Brewster’s equaliser to earn Martí Cifuentes, the manager, some respite after successive defeats. Leicester are four points off the playoff zone going into Thursday’s visit to Sheffield United but there are still plans for fans to boycott next Monday’s televised game with West Brom.
