Another defeat for Leicester, who are hurtling toward relegation and have been outscored 16-2 during their six-game losing skid.

Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi struck in the second half as Crystal Palace won 2-0 at Leicester and condemned the Foxes to a sixth straight Premier League defeat. Boos rang around the King Power Stadium at full-time after a result that left Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side still two points from safety.

Leicester City have problems at the back and upfront. The defeat by Crystal Palace is their sixth successive loss in the Premier League and they have conceded two goals in all of those games. They have also failed to score in four of those matches.
