Leicester City were soundly beaten by Crystal Palace on Saturday.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Claude Puel is facing the axe at Leicester if his side fail to finish the season strongly, after his side’s humiliating 5-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Frenchman took over as manager of the Foxes in October 2017, and has done a decent job at the King Power Stadium, although his side have suffered a rather alarming dip in form of late – one that culminated with their loss to the Eagles at the weekend.

The east Midlands outfit currently sit in ninth spot in the Premier League table, which on the face of it, should be considered as a fairly successful campaign.
Leicester’s title win two years ago has totally changed the expectation levels at the club, however, and a top seven finish is now seen as the bare minimum for them.
The Daily Mail claim that senior figures at the King Power Stadium were unhappy with the manner in which the Foxes’ lost to Palace on Saturday, and could wield the axe on Puel if his side fail to finish the season strongly.
The Foxes face games against West Ham and Arsenal at home before they head to north London to take on Tottenham on the final day of the season, and Puel might just need a couple of victories from those matches if he is to save his job.
