Ruud van Nistelrooy has seen Leicester fall to six successive defeats in the Premier League, with the Foxes now sitting second bottom of the top-flight table as they battle against the drop

Leicester City have lost six-in-a-row and an air of resignation has set in amongst fans at the King Power Stadium that last season's Championship winners may be returning to the second tier - but Ruud

Signing the French defender is a start but, as the Crystal Palace match showed, Ruud van Nistelrooy has a lot to fix

Marco Silva is not attaching any significance to the fact Leicester City are on a six-game losing run in the Premier League – and backed their performance in the loss to Crystal Palace. The Fulham coach takes his team to the King Power Stadium tomorrow (3pm), looking to inflict a seventh straight reverse on the embattled Foxes.

It is the most played fixture in the competition where at least one of the sides was in their first season after promotion in every single meeting.

Defensively, Coulibaly uses his pace to track back and averaged 4.98 recoveries per 90 in Serie A, ranking third among full-backs behind Fiorentina’s Dodo and Lazio’s Nuno Tavares. But there are issues to be ironed out too as his ball-focused defending can drag him out of position, leaving space for opposition forwards to exploit.

This was far from spectacular from Crystal Palace but it was a professional performance. They have lost just one of their past 10 Premier League games (W4 D5) and their current six-match unbeaten run away from home (W3 D3) the club's longest in the top-flight since February 1992.

Leicester comfortably beat third-tier Stoke to reach the Women's FA Cup fifth round, while Portsmouth see off Blackburn.

Crystal Palace kept up their impressive away form in the Premier League as second half goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi handed them a 2-0 win at struggling Leicester City on Wednesday.

Crystal Palace make it 2-0 against Leicester City thanks to captain Marc Guehi's lovely finish at the far post.

Manchester United are reportedly 'playing hardball' over the sale of Alejandro Garnacho, who is wanted by Serie A club Napoli.
