Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, Leicester City are at the lowest point in their history.

The Foxes are further down the football pyramid than they have ever been before, having lost 2-1 to Burton Albion on Saturday in the first ever league meeting between the sides.

A desperately slow start saw us go 2-0 down inside 25 minutes, and when Oliver Skipp was sent off with less than half an hour played, all the positive pre-match energy had been well and truly sucked out of the stadium.

Wes Burns started and finished a good move to pull one back just before the break, and ten-man City had more of the ball in the second period but Burton held firm for all three points.
