Leicester City owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha is set to attend Tuesday’s Championship fixture against Hull City. The Thai businessman has jetted into the United Kingdom from Thailand with his position under severe pressure as the Foxes prepare for a potential third relegation in four years.

Gary Rowett’s side sit 23rd in the second tier, eight points from safety and failure to beat promotion-chasing Hull at King Power Stadium will result in relegation to League One for the second time in the club’s history.

Srivaddhanaprabha and chief football officer Jon Rudkin are both facing increasing scrutiny from City supporters and the atmosphere is expected to turn even more toxic following a nightmare season.

Fans aimed their frustration at the players and the hierarchy after Saturday’s dismal 1-0 defeat at fellow relegation-threatened Portsmouth, with many staying behind to make their voice heard.

United for Change, a campaign led by Leicester supporters, are asking for supporters to gather outside the stadium reception after the Hull game, as they try to get King Power to sell the club.

In a message posted on social media, Unite for Change declared the situation “a total dereliction of standards from the owner and the board, along with zero accountability, [which] has caused this incredible mess”.

Srivaddhanaprabha is believed to watch matches from his base in Bangkok and it’s thought that this will be the first time he has attended a Leicester game in person since the 2-0 defeat to Norwich City on February 28, according to The Telegraph. The 40-year-old is also poised to attend Friday’s home fixture against Millwall.

Leicester need to win each of their remaining three matches to even stand a chance of staying in the Championship. The Foxes face Hull and Millwall at home before travelling to 21st place Blackburn Rovers on the final day.

In February, the Foxes were slapped with a six-point deduction for breaching Profit and Sustainability (PSR) rules, sinking the club deep into a relegation battle and they haven’t been able to recover since.

City have won just one game in 18 matches and that came in a 2-0 success against mid-table Bristol City on March 10. Since then, the Foxes have failed to win each of their last six, picking up just three points in the process.

Rowett, the current manager, is facing a decision on whether to start Harry Winks for the visit of Hull after the midfielder was involved in a direct verbal altercation with a supporter following the Portsmouth defeat. The ex-Tottenham Hotspur man was seen shouting back at a fan as he boarded the team bus.

Winks, alongside several of his Leicester teammates, is poised to receive a hostile reception from supporters ahead of Tuesday’s game against Hull. Tensions have run high in recent months, with Jordan Ayew and Luke Thomas among the others to face criticism amid the club’s dire form this season.
