Everton manager Marco Silva insists he has the backing of his players after Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester City.

The loss leaves Everton just two points clear of the relegation zone.

"I have no doubts that I don't have their [players'] backing," Silva told Sky Sports.

"No one can say nothing about the attitude of my players.

"They showed a reaction for the last game. It's not to be behind me, but being behind Everton football club."
