Leicester City 1 Portsmouth 1: And now, your unlicensed crypto casino all-stars!
There were boos and empty seats as Leicester City threw away a lead for the second home game in a row – games which have summed up the wider situation at the club both on and off the pitch.

It’s bad luck with Fatawu. Ricardo has had his injuries so not to be unexpected. I don’t particularly blame the club for the right-back situation but not bringing in similar players to Mavididi and Fatawu is massively hampering us, both as cover and competition
