Leicester City face Arsenal on Saturday but the game is expected to be marred by off-field issues.
With their side battling relegation and recruitment once again poor over the winter transfer window, Leicester City fans have become disgruntled.
As was to be expected, Foxes chief Jon Rudkin has taken a lot of the blame for the club’s woes in the 2024/25 season.
Leicester fans are furious at Rudkin and have already made their feelings known on a number of occasions this season.
Now, with a swift return to the Championship staring them in the face, supporters are expected to take action.
Leicester’s meeting with Arsenal is a 12:30pm kick-off and fans are planning to make their voices heard pre-match and during the tie.

Why Leicester City owner and Jon Rudkin will be furious with Will Alves
Leicester fans are planning a protest on February 15th, with a group called ‘Project Restart’ stating they will protest outside the ground before the game and during the 14th minute.
The 14th minute has been selected because of the transfer saga in 2022 involving Adrien Silva, which saw the Foxes miss the deadline to sign him by 14 seconds.
Now, ahead of the planned protest, Will Alves, who joined Cardiff City on loan in January, may have angered Rudkin and the Leicester owner.
As shown via on account on X/Twitter, a post was made on Instagram with a screenshot from talkSPORT stating that fans plan to protest in the 14th minute, and Alves’ Instagram account is shown as one of the people who liked the photo.
What Leicester City owner said about protest vs Arsenal
Alves’ social media activity is likely to draw the ire of Rudkin and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, the latter of which recently spoke out on the protest.
Neither Rudkin nor ‘Top’ comment publicly very often but the latter seemingly thought it would be a good idea to do this ahead of Arsenal, perhaps to try and quash anger growing even more.
As per Leicestershire Live, he said: “We know some of you are frustrated, we respect the views you have shared and we know there are things we need to improve together as one club.
“But we also know those improvements are made more easily in the Premier League. To give us the best chance of achieving that, I ask that, during the game, you get behind the team and give them your full support.
“Winning the games and the points we need to stay up is only possible with your support.”
