Leicester City are still recovering from yet another loss, this time at the hands of West Ham United.

Foxes fans are probably glad to learn that their club are not playing a game of football this weekend.

Leicester City were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United in February and as a result, supporters won’t have their Saturday spoiled by another defeat.

The Midlands outfit have now lost 11 in 12, and fan ire is now at an all-time high.

With this in mind, there is all the latest Leicester news coming out of the King Power Stadium on Saturday, March 1st.

Leicester City fans have had enough of Ruud van Nistelrooy

Leicester lost 2-0 against West Ham but the scoreline really doesn’t reflect just how bad they were.

Their pressing was poor, they offered nothing in the final third and as always, the defending was dire.

During and following that match, Leicester fans slammed Van Nistelrooy, with many calling for him to be sacked.

Just one of the many comments aimed at the manager read: “Ruud sacked by the time my train arrives please.”

Tomas Soucek’s classy gesture vs Leicester

Hammers midfielder Tomas Soucek scored the opening goal of the match on Friday evening.

The Czech Republic international has a trademark celebration that normally sees him wheel away with a spinning helicopter celebration.

However, Tomas Soucek revealed he didn’t do the celebration against Leicester out of respect for former owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

He said: “I didn’t think my normal helicopter celebration was the right thing to do because of what happened to the Leicester owner [Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha]. I wanted to show respect to our opponents.”
