Leicester hits new low as barren scoring run reaches 10-hour mark

The unwanted records are pouring in thick and fast for Leicester City.

The Foxes' nightmarish season continued with a 2-0 loss to fellow relegation-threatened side Swansea on Sunday; by being held off the scoresheet yet again, Leicester became the first defending champion in Premier League history to go without a goal in six straight league matches.

Leicester last celebrated a Premier League tally on Dec. 31, when Islam Slimani found the net in a 1-0 win over West Ham.

Claudio Ranieri's men now sit just one point above the relegation zone, and things don't get any easier.

Following FA Cup and Champions League commitments in the coming weeks, Leicester's next league opponent is Liverpool, with a trip to Arsenal following two weeks later.
