Rewind nine years and Leicester City were in the midst of one of the most miraculous escapes from relegation that the Premier League has seen.
Bottom of the table and seven points adrift of safety, the Foxes, then under the stewardship of Nigel Pearson, won seven out of their last nine matches of the campaign to secure an admirable 14th-placed finish. The East Midlands side need an equally impressive reversal of fortunes this season if they are to avoid joining Blackburn Rovers as the second former Premier League winners to be relegated from the top-flight.
Amid a horrendous season in which they’ve won just seven league matches, Leicester languish in 19th position. They’ve lost nine out of their last ten games in all competitions - a run that includes a humiliating FA Cup exit to Championship side Blackburn and bruising defeats to relegation rivals Southampton, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.
