‘There’s no way it’s over,’ vows Leicester's Danny Drinkwater

Danny Drinkwater is confident the same core of players who inspired Leicester’s Premier League title triumph last season can turn around the Foxes’ miserable form and save them from relegation.

Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Swansea condemned Leicester to a fifth consecutive league loss and left Claudio Ranieri’s side just one point and one place above the drop zone, and still without a top-flight goal in 2017. Last season’s fairytale is but a memory and many of the players who starred in their title-winning success have come under fire for their underwhelming performances this campaign.

However, Drinkwater has confidence in the players, as Leicester seek to avoid becoming the first defending champions to be relegated since Manchester City in 1938.
