Edited by Murray Burnell. Leicester 0-3 Newcastle Leicester City Leicester's last Premier League goal came in a 2-1 defeat by Tottenham on 26 January. That means Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have drawn a blank in eight successive league games, which equates to 12 hours of football. Only Crystal Palace in January 1995 have endured a longer run in the competition's history (nine games). Stats from Opta. #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (standard network charges apply) There is a pattern forming and it doesn't matter who manages the promoted sides, it looks like its now the norm for the 3 promoted teams to go straight back down.

As much as people want to make news and find reasons, the only thing what is causing it is money.

The richer are getting richer and the gap just get bigger.

Football is changing and with regards to relegation from the Premier League, the 3 that go up this season will come straight back down and I don't need to be an ex player or pundit to predict that.

I'm thinking the Premier League will want to reduce to 18 soon and then move to one up and one down.

Sad, sad times for the real fans who buy tickets. Mark Leicester 0-3 Newcastle Padraig: Dismal. Setting new records that nobody wants every week. Fans feel disconnected from a mismanaged club that once had the opportunity to be a regular mid-table Premier League team. We threw it away. Incredibly sad. Kev: It's a Groundhog [Day] Season for us. Breaking [unwanted] records, can't score, can't even shoot, same players every week, same rhetoric before and after the game, we've become numb to it all now. Jenny: Will we ever score a goal again? I'm a season ticket holder and haven't seen them score in 2025. Ruud is out of his depth, I can see us finishing bottom. James: Just goes from bad to worse - the whole club needs a clear out. Despair as to next season - the fans have lost faith in this bunch of players with the manager, they are clueless. #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (standard network charges apply) Newcastle coasted for 90 minutes and Leicester barely got into the game. They looked like they’ve accepted their fate and have given up. Feel very sorry for Leicester fans having to watch that every week. Nick, Newcastle fan Leicester 0-3 Newcastle It's almost like a bad joke for Leicester City fans at this point. Yesterday evening marked their eighth successive defeat on home soil in the Premier League and they haven't found the net in a single one of them. The Foxes are not only the first Premier League side to lose eight successive home league games without scoring but also the first side in the top four tiers of English football to achieve such an unwanted feat as well. #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (standard network charges apply) Leicester are playing so poorly now that it's hard to believe they were Premier League champions less than a decade ago, as well as FA Cup winners in the years since. Even as league champions, their winning team was stripped of its best players by other clubs, who were never adequately replaced. Jamie Vardy's decline as a striker at this level is a perfect illustration of how far the club has fallen, sadly. Like Southampton, I hope they use the money from this season to carry out a major rebuild, so they'll be better equipped if and when they return to the Premier League. Jonathan Leicester 0-3 Newcastle Leicester City Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to BBC Match of the Day about 15-year-old Jeremy Monga: "You could see glimpses of his great qualities. He's a great winger and has speed. He's a fantastic talent, a great boy. He deserved these minutes and hopefully, more to come. "It's clear and we've been saying that. We want to show what we're about and show our qualities but we aren't able to. "I want the club to do well. The club is first and that is something to consider. It is hard because I came to the club to help it forward but it is clear there haven't been enough results to get points on the board and that's not good enough. " Leicester 0-3 Newcastle Leicester City Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Very difficult especially after 33 minutes, we lost another game starting with the best intentions. We lost another early goal. It's very disappointing and worrying. "It's a big challenge. We all know the run of form we're in. It's extremely difficult. Especially if there aren't light points to build on. "The most difficult thing is we are in a place for such a long time and there are no results. The most important thing is the club and to bring it forward. That's the worrying part. " #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (standard network charges apply) We want to hear thoughts throughout the day. Have Newcastle hit form at the right time? What does the future hold for Leicester? Who will finish in the top five? Have your say using the usual channels. Leicester City debutant Jeremy Monga had to wear a blank shirt when he became the second-youngest player in Premier League history. Monga came off the bench in the 74th minute of Leicester's 3-0 home defeat by Newcastle United on Monday. At 15 years and 271 days old, Monga became the second-youngest player to play in the competition behind Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, who debuted at 15 years 181 days in September 2022. But because Leicester's home kit is sponsored by BC. GAME, an online cryptocurrency gaming platform, the England Under-16 winger could not wear it. A review in 2020 of the Gambling Act 2005 - which the Premier League is committed to follow - prohibits players under the age of 18 from wearing kits displaying gambling sponsors. "You could see glimpses of his great qualities. He's a great winger and has speed, " Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy said of Monga. "He's a fantastic talent, a great boy. He deserved these minutes and hopefully, more to come. " The Sun The story of the arrest after Grealish was allgedly slapped is also on the front page of Tuesday's edition of The Sun. A 20-year-old man has been charged with assault after Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish was allegedly slapped following Sunday's 0-0 draw with rivals Manchester United. The Daily Mail reported that Grealish, 29, was confronted as he made his way off the pitch at Old Trafford following the goalless derby. Greater Manchester Police announced in a statement on Monday that Alfie Holt of Haven Drive, Droylsden will appear at Manchester Magistrates Court on 14 July. "This charge relates to an incident which took place at Old Trafford Football Club yesterday, " the police added. United and City both declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport. The match was also marred by derogatory chants about Phil Foden's mother from Manchester United fans, which City boss Pep Guardiola said showed "a lack of class". Nick Mashiter BBC Sport football news reporter In their past two Premier League campaigns Southampton have had six managers. Ivan Juric's exit - following relegation from the Premier League after defeat by Tottenham - sees the conveyor belt of coaches continue and casts doubt on the club's direction. Simon Rusk may now be the caretaker but he will have taken charge of eight games come the end of the season - as many as Nathan Jones managed in 2022-23. Russell Martin was dismissed in December with the side nine points from survival and replaced by Juric, who has won just two of his 16 matches and left with the club 22 points away from safety. There have been 14 occasions where a Premier League club has gone through three permanent managers in one season. Not counting Rusk, Southampton are on the list twice (2022-23 and 2004-05) along with Fulham (2013-14 and 2018-19) and Watford (2019-20 and 2021-22), as well as relegated Leeds in 2022-23 when Sam Allardyce could not save them with four games in charge. In 2022-23 Saints replaced Ralph Hasenhuttl - who had a 0. 86 points per game (PPG) record - with Jones, who was sacked with a PPG record of just 0. 38, then Ruben Selles was appointed to earn 0. 63 PPG. Simon Stone and Alex Brotherton Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out says "sexism isn't banter" after derogatory chants about Phil Foden's mother were sung during Sunday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford. The Football Association, according to its rulebook, will not take action against Manchester United over the chants, which could be heard throughout the first half of the goalless draw and when Manchester City forward Foden was substituted in the 57th minute. Following the match, City boss Guardiola said those joining in with the chants showed "a lack of class" and "should be ashamed". Kick It Out chief operating officer Hollie Varney told BBC Sport: "We've seen several incidents of sexist and misogynistic mass chanting in men's football this season, yet too often the response from football falls short. "Sexism isn't 'banter'. Hearing sexist chants echo around a stadium doesn't just affect the players involved or those directly targeted, it creates an environment where women can feel unsafe or unwelcome. " Leicester 0-3 Newcastle Charlotte Coates BBC Sport It has been 720 minutes since Leicester last scored at home in the Premier League. With Monday's 3-0 defeat by Newcastle, the Foxes became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight successive home league games without scoring. Ruud van Nistelrooy's relegation-bound side have not found the back of the net at the King Power Stadium since 8 December - a 2-2 draw with Brighton. "Nothing surprises me with this group and this manager and this football club at the minute, " ex-Foxes winger Matt Piper told BBC Radio Leicester. "The anger for me is done, they are sucking the life out of me. This is as bad as it's ever been and we are a club that has dropped down to League One football. " Leicester have registered 82 shots on goal this term but have only accumulated an expected goals (x G) tally of 6. 58. Against Newcastle, Leicester's possession was at a healthy 58% but that creative spark was missing once again with an x G of only 0. 47. This from a side that have seen the tremendous highs of lifting the Premier League title, travelled Europe in the Champions League and hoisted the FA Cup high at Wembley Stadium. Leicester 0-3 Newcastle Charlotte Coates BBC Sport Free-scoring Newcastle heaped more misery on relegation-bound Leicester as the Magpies' Champions League pursuit gathered further momentum. The three points for Eddie Howe's side lifted them above Manchester City into fifth place in the Premier League and level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, despite still having a game in hand. Leicester, meanwhile, became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight home league games in a row without finding the net, as they sit 15 points from safety with seven games remaining. The scoring started inside the opening two minutes, with Jacob Murphy scoring the first of two tap-ins after some great work down the left wing by Tino Livramento. Murphy's second came less than 10 minutes later when Fabian Schar almost scored the goal of the season, but his audacious effort from inside his own half struck the crossbar - with the Newcastle winger reacting fastest to finish the rebound. Twenty-four minutes then passed before Howe's men extended their lead further as Joelinton easily cut inside Wout Faes and forced a diving save out of Mads Hermansen, but former Foxes winger Harvey Barnes reacted first to make it 3-0 as the boos rang out around King Power Stadium. The Foxes, who passed the 12-hour mark without scoring a goal, came within inches of finding the back of the net but Patson Daka's strike hit the inside of both posts before rolling into the hands of Nick Pope.
