League position: 19th . Leicester City had now lost 34 of their last 50 games in the Premier League (won six). . The Foxes had now conceded the opening goal in 29 of their games so far in this Premier League season; the most by a team in a 38-game season in the division. . They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 27 games in the Premier League. . Facundo Buonanotte's replacement at half time was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make six substitutions during the game. . Jamie Vardy's penalty in the 72nd minute was saved.
