To say Leicester City are having a bad season is an understatement.

The loss at Fulham piled further misery on the club, who are 19th in the table without a win in their last seven Premier League games.

Leicester legend Gary Lineker is already losing faith in the Foxes’ survival battle whilst Ruud van Nistelrooy looks dejected on the sideline.

There isn’t really anything to smile about and the latest stat that has surfaced hasn’t done anything to lift the spirits.

Leicester City are one of the worst teams in Europe

In terms of form, it’s well-documented that Leicester are one of the worst teams in the league, but how about Europe?

According to WhoScored, the Foxes are the joint-worst team in Europe across the last six league games.

In that time, Leicester have scored two goals and conceded 14, which is only beaten by Yeni Malatyaspor of the Turkish Super Lig.

To make matters worse, no side has been worse than the Foxes in the ‘big five’ leagues across the continent.

It’s these sort of stats where Leicester really have nowhere to hide and must work to recover their campaign immediately.

What are Leicester City’s next five fixtures?

Unfortunately for Leicester, life isn’t going to get any easier for them.

Three of the next five fixtures are away from the King Power Stadium, which could help given the recent boos and jeers received.

Totttenham are also struggling for form and have an injury list like nobody else before a visit to Merseyside to take on an Everton side buoyed by the return of David Moyes.

Arsenal then visit the East Midlands and are never an easy test before Brentford, who beat the Foxes 4-1, visit.

They then round off a crucial run of games with an away trip to West Ham United and by that point, we’ll know if Leicester really are going to stay up.
