After scoring twice on Monday night, Jones has three goals in his previous four games.



Two years to the day after the Foxes' FA Cup victory, Liverpool rolled to a 3-0 victory as Curtis Jones' double sent Leicester dangerously close to being relegated.


The hosts capitulated, leaving them looking at the drop after Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunning goal and the midfielder's brace in the first half gave the visitors an easy victory.


The fact that it occurred on the same day as their first-ever FA Cup victory served as further evidence of the 2016 Premier League champions' decline.



Leicester lost to remain two points from safety with two games remaining, despite Harvey Barnes describing it as one of the biggest games in the club's history.

The Foxes had stumbled into this situation while asleep. Last summer's quiet transfer season was due to tighter budget constraints, but the team remained still and suffered the price.


Even before the Reds marched in to score three points with ease, the King Power Stadium was beginning to take on an air of acceptance.


Liverpool's late push for the top four continued as they closed the gap on Manchester United to just one point.

They maintained their lead over United with their seventh straight victory, which was by far the easiest. However, they must continue their current pace and hope that their competitors falter.


However, when Leicester gave up on Monday, there was never any indication that it was a surprise.


The Foxes already had lost Danny Ward, Caglar Soyuncu, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to injuries before the game even started.


Due to the grave circumstances, Dean Smith was compelled to hand Jonny Evans his first Premier League start since October.
