- Leicester took on Liverpool at the King Power Stadium in their fight for survival
- Supporters flew a flag over the stadium before the game to hit out at the board

Leicester fans expressed their fury towards their board as they flew a banner over the King Power Stadium before their game against Liverpool on Sunday.
An increasing number of Foxes supporters are disillusioned with those at the top of the club, who oversaw relegation to the Championship in 2023. The same fate is almost guaranteed to befall them this season.
Leicester need to beat Liverpool to keep their survival hopes alive – at least for a few more days – and hope West Ham in 17th lose their remaining games.
Director of football Jon Rudkin has been targeted by supporter chants throughout the campaign. Rudkin is a trusted ally of Leicester and chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha but finds himself in the spotlight for the club’s mixed transfer record in recent times.
Srivaddhanaprabha is also the chairman of Thai travel group King Power, the sponsor and namesake for Leicester’s home ground.
And on Sunday, a light aeroplane flew close above the King Power Stadium trailing the banner: ‘King Power Clueless. Sack The Board’.

Before Leicester’s 2-0 defeat by Arsenal in February, a group of fans marched towards their home ground and urged fans to voice their frustrations in the 14th minute.
The number 14 related to the failed transfer of Adrien Silva in 2017. Leicester agreed a £22million deal to sign the Portuguese midfielder from Sporting Lisbon, only to miss the deadline to register him by 14 seconds.
During Leicester’s 3-0 defeat by Newcastle on April 7, one banner in the stands read: ‘Stop Rudkins’ rot.’
