Alan Smith: Alarm bells must be ringing at Leicester

Arsenal legend Alan Smith believes that alarm bells must have started ringing at Premier League champions Leicester City following their defeat at Swansea City.

The 2-0 loss, which was the Foxes' fifth consecutive in the league, against a direct relegation contender has left the reigning champions in 17th spot on the table.

"If the alarm bells weren't ringing before they certainly are after that against one of their relegation rivals," the Sky Sports pundit said.

"They've got to find something from somewhere and I think a change will come. It might be a few weeks down the line from here, because looking at that performance they don't look close to turning things around.

"What they have got to be is together. They don't need all those whispers of player discontent that undermines the manager. Ranieri performed miracles to lead them to the title and he deserves the chance to get them out of it."
