Leicester City find themselves in a perilous position inside the Championship bottom three with just four games remaining.
On Sunday, a second-half goal from Championship top scorer Zan Vipotnik was enough to condemn the Foxes to their 17th defeat of the campaign when they played host to Swansea City.
The result meant that Leicester have won just one of their last 16 games in the league, with the club's form continuing to nosedive even after Gary Rowett took the reins in February.
To make matters worse for the former Premier League winners, on Tuesday night fellow strugglers Portsmouth claimed an unlikely 2-0 win against promotion-chasing Ipswich Town.
Leicester now find themselves five points from safety, and their relegation from the second tier could be confirmed in a matter of days should results go against them.
When could Leicester City be relegated?
Leicester make the long journey down to Fratton Park this weekend knowing that a defeat could be ruinous in their efforts to escape the drop.
The club haven't won a league game away from home since all the way back in December, when goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Oliver Skipp and Jordan James sealed a comfortable victory at Pride Park against Derby County.
Should Portsmouth claim all three points in Saturday's early kick-off, and West Brom win at Preston later that day, Leicester will head into their midweek fixture knowing that anything less than a win at home to Hull City will send them down.
Leicester's last season in League One came in 2008/09, as they they fell into the third tier for the first time in their history after being held to a 0-0 draw by Stoke City on the final day of the season.
The following campaign the club immediately bounced back into the second tier, losing just four games all season to be crowned League One champions.
