Former Aston Villa star, Gabriel Agbonlahor predicts Leicester City’s impending doom this summer

By Rasheed Adewuyi

Former Aston Villa FC forward Gabriel Agbonlahor has predicted that Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho’s Leicester City FC would be relegated at the end of the season.

Speaking on Talk Sports, a British Radio talk show, Agbonlahor said it would be very difficult for the Foxes to win all their remaining matches because of their current form.

The Foxes were beaten by Aston Villa on Tuesday, having picked up just one point from the last twenty one matches. This poor run was the reason Brendan Rodgers was sacked last weekend after four years in charge.

Leicester city will play against Bournemouth in one of the Premier League matches slated for this weekend. A win will take them out of the relegation zone but Gabriel Agbonlahor believes it would be difficult for Leicester City to escape relegation because of the tough fixtures ahead.

“It is very obvious that the Foxes are very poor this season. They have not been impressive since the season commenced. They have to work extremely hard if they want to keep their Premier League status” he said.

After the game against Bournemouth this weekend, Leicester will travel to the Etihad Stadium to play against the defending champions, Manchester city on April 15, Wolves (home) on April 22, Leeds (away) April 28, Everton (away) May 1 , Fulham (away) May 8, Liverpool, (home) May 19 , Newcastle Utd (away), and West Ham Utd (home).

It should be recalled that Leicester City were relegated from the Premiership in 2003/ 2004 season with thirty–eight points along with Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Foxes are currently on 19th position with twenty -five points from twenty – nine matches.
