Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed he is not paying attention to speculation on his future.

The Foxes boss is in danger of losing his job, with Leicester rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.

They now prepare to take on Leeds United on Thursday, which is a must win game for Rodgers.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the ex-Liverpool boss remained calm about his future.

He said: “It's all the narrative that is out there. My only focus is on the game. I know the storyline and I know what the narrative wants to be. My dedication is only with helping the team improve.

“I respect wholly the views of fans and opinions that will come whenever you don't win games. I totally understand that. My focus is purely on improving the team to finish the season in the highest possible position they can.

“We all have the same aim. Our aim here at Leicester is to climb the table and we're all fighting to do that together. It's slow progress for us this season but, if you look at our last two home games, we've kept two clean sheets, which was important, and defended the transition much better.

“It's just now about attacking the box much better. I see the team every day and I see the confidence in the team. From a management perspective, it's the job.

“At times you have rocky periods as well as triumphant periods. I've always felt with this squad we'll make progress as the season goes on.

“Against Crystal Palace we felt we deserved to win the game. We didn't concede so much against a good attacking team and we created some opportunities, but I would still like to see us have a greater desire to score more and get up there then show that final bit of quality.

“I've got no qualms about the players' effort and their attitude. That's what we'll look to bring into our next game. The two teams that are up next are good challenges for us and give us that opportunity to get the results we want."
