Ruud van Nistelrooy isn’t the only one feeling the heat as a Premier League manager right now.
Van Nistelrooy lost for the seventh Premier League game in a row on Saturday and could match an unwanted Leicester record that has lasted 24 years if a familiar pattern follows this weekend.
Despite some Leicester fans making their thoughts clear on Van Nistelrooy, it still appears that most are backing the Dutchman.
A vote saw the majority of Foxes fans say they want to keep Van Nistelrooy and whilst it seems like he has the backing of the supporters, the same can’t be said about Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham reveal Ange Postecoglou sack decision before Leicester City game
Postecoglou is under intense pressure after yet another defeat for Tottenham at the weekend.
Spurs were beaten 3-2 by Everton but the score line doesn’t tell the whole story as they went into the break three goals down.
It seems like the writing is on the wall for the Australian, with sections of the Tottenham fanbase turning against him and citing his stubbornness when it comes to his tactics as a huge problem.
However, Football London have revealed that Postecoglou has the backing of the board and won’t be sacked before Leicester’s visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Rumours had speculated that a meeting to decide Postecoglou’s fate was set to take place this week but they have since been rubbished.

Tottenham vs Leicester H2H record
There may be some solace for Tottenham fans and Postecoglou as they know they are facing a side in just as bad of a run of form.
Spurs and Leicester drew on the opening day of the season and since then, both have struggled.
Leicester are 19th in the Premier League table whereas Spurs sit 15th and a win for the Foxes could see them move to within seven points of the North London outfit.

The hosts may have a glimmer of hope however given the record between the two teams.
| Wins | 38 |
| Draws | 22 |
| Losses | 61 |
Across the 121 previous meetings, Spurs have won 61 of those in comparison to Leicester’s 38. Furthermore, these games hardly end in draws and with both sides needing three points, we can no doubt expect entertainment this weekend.
