    The Daily Mail also feature Kasper Schmeichel after he told Sky Sports every player is "hurting".

    "We're the reigning champions but quite frankly it's been terrible," he said. 

    "It's not a situation that is comfortable. It's time for everyone to stand up and be counted because if we don't we're going to end up getting relegated."

    Anyone else feel most sorry for Claudio Ranieri in this situation? 

    Especially when there is a picture of him looking very sad on the back page of The Telegraph with the caption "Sinking feeling".

    As the Superbowl didn't finish until about ten minutes ago*, Tom Brady's face adorns none of the back pages... 

    But Leicester City were beaten in plenty of time for the printers... 

    The Daily Mirror appear to have already written them off to stay in the Premier League. 

    Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel features heavily throughout the papers today and has said the Foxes could be relegated if their "embarrassing" Premier League title defence continues.  

    The Foxes are yet to win a league game in 2017 and have not scored in their previous five league outings.

    *maybe a little longer...
