Leicester will need to go from losing every game to winning absolutely all of them for the rest of the season to have any hope of surviving in the Premier League.
There are eight games left and with it 24 points to distribute. Up to Wolverhampton, who are in the bottom safe place, there are 12 points. The fact that it is almost impossible means that the club has chosen to keep Ruud van Nistelrooy for at least the rest of the season. At King Power, they are preparing for a life in the Championship and then it will be expensive to change managers.
As most people noticed, Harry Winks was scrapped against Manchester City on Wednesday. (A game they lost without even breaking a sweat)

The explanation that The Telegraph gives is at least a little special.
The wreck due to a conflict with manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
When Leicester faced Manchester City last weekend, midfielder Harry Winks was suddenly left out of the team’s matchday squad – and now comes an explanation.
Ruud van Nistelrooy got into an argument with Winks regarding travel to training. The 29-year-old has to travel 16 miles to and from the team’s training sessions every day, which reportedly led to van Nistelrooy asking him to stay overnight once a week at the training facility. Winks, however, is said to have refused, and was therefore dumped over the weekend. As of now, it is unclear whether he will be part of the squad going forward.
