RODGERS: I’LL FIGHT TO TURN ROUND FOXES

BRENDAN RODGERS admits Leicester’s start to the season has been his most difficult period as a manager but is determined to turn around their fortunes. The Foxes are bottom of the table and host Aston Villa tomorrow having taken just one point from their opening six matches, but Rodgers believes he can arrest the slump.

‘It’s definitely the most challenging period I’ve had as a manager, but the idea is to get through it,’ he said. ‘I love being here and I will fight as hard as I possibly can to stay here and make the team the best we can with what we have.’ Meanwhile, Danish coach Lars Knudsen is to join Leicester as a set-piece specialist.
