Leicester City legend Emile Heskey fears for the Premier League champions' top-flight status after a poor start to their title defence.

The Foxes currently sit two points above the relegation zone in 14th after 11 games.

Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by West Brom means that Claudio Ranieri's side have now lost five league matches - two more than they did in the whole campaign last term.
