Leicester City fell to yet another defeat at the hands of Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, joining an unwanted club in the process.
Leicester City had a great chance to move out of the relegation on February 15th as 17th-place Wolverhampton Wanderers are not in action until Sunday versus Liverpool.
However, their recent record against the Gunners is bad, losing five in a row before the weekend.
And despite giving it a good go at the King Power Stadium, Leicester lost 2-0 to Arsenal and remain firmly entrenched in a relegation scrap.

Jordan Ayew earned praise from opposition fans against Arsenal and Wilfred Ndidi once again looked solid upon his return.
But their performances weren’t enough to salvage anything from the tie and the Foxes have now lost nine of their last 10.

Leicester City now in unwanted Premier League club after Arsenal
The game turned on its head when Mikel Merino was brought on in the 69th minute.
The Spaniard went on to score twice in the final 10 minutes of the tie and Leicester could not find a reply.
In fact, the Midlands outfit managed to have just two shots on target across the entire 90 minutes of action.
It was another frustrating game in front of goal for players like Jamie Vardy and after they failed to score against Mikel Arteta’s men, Leicester have joined a very unwanted club.
Along with Sheffield Wednesday in 1919/20, Birmingham City in 1921/22, and Norwich City in 2019/20, they are now just one of four teams in English top-flight history and only the second in Premier League history to lose five in a row at home without scoring in a single season.

What Ruud van Nistelrooy said on Leicester City loss to Arsenal
Though Leicester are now one of just two teams in the 30-plus-year history of the Premier League to achieve that unwanted record, they were by no means terrible against the North London outfit.
However, as Van Nistelrooy mentioned in his post-match press conference, they needed to do a better job of taking their chances.
He said: “Thin margins. The chance of Bobby just by Lewis-Skelly, you can get up with a game in a goal. That makes it hard.
“We did what we could for all parts of the game. Playing out and playing in certain moments when we could. We didn’t really look long. Two chances from Ndidi with the header and the volley. You need some luck to get a goal and go up against a side like this.
“The players know and are disappointed that we couldn’t take anything from the game. Arsenal are contending for the title so we know if we keep putting in performances like this then eventually you’re going to win games and pick up points.
