Just over a year ago, Leicester City were surprising everybody by leading the title race, but this season there are talks of a crisis after Leicester find themselves on the 14th spot on the table. The Foxes had yet another poor game against Middlesbrough and lacked any creativity in attack.

The champions rely too much on Riyad Mahrez for creativity while their tactic of sitting back and playing the ball forward to Jamie Vardy seems to not be working this season. Ranieri has failed to find a plan B and it looks like Leicester City are on a downward spiral after hitting the very top, less than six months ago.
