Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson's job is in serious doubt going into today's clash with Everton.

Pearson was reportedly sacked, then reinstated, after defeat to Crystal Palace a fortnight ago.

The Daily Star Sunday says Leicester are now eyeing candidates for the position of head coach.

Pearson is understood to be dismayed by recent events - and leaks about his position - at the King Power Stadium.

One Leicester source said: "Nigel has been hung out to dry."
