Leicester City struggles in League One following home defeat to Oxford United

Summary

Leicester City remains in 17th place in League One after a 0-4 home loss to Oxford United. The club, which recently suffered back-to-back relegations, has struggled since winning the FA Cup in 2021. Manager Russell Martin is under scrutiny following a record of three wins in 28 matches across all competitions, including a -29 goal differential. The organization is currently for sale with an asking price of approximately £200 million. Nearly two dozen players departed the club during the summer transfer window, leaving a squad that relies heavily on younger players. Pressure is mounting on management to determine if a coaching change is necessary to address the team's ongoing performance issues.
