It is now seventy-eight years since Manchester City became the only club to be crowned Champions of England, only to then proceed to be relegated from the top-flight the next season.
This is the statistic we are going to be talking about an awful lot as we unless Leicester rediscover some sense of their former selves very soon indeed.
This was a damaging day for Claudio Ranieri's side and it must be a concern that it arrived against rather modest opposition. It is true that Leicester have endured a difficult fixture list at the start of this season, facing Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham already.
