​Leicester boss Rodgers hopeful of Europe qualification

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is hoping that his team can finish in the top seven.

If circumstances pan out, seventh position in the Premier League would get a Europa League spot.

There are a host of teams competing for that spot, including Wolves, Watford, Everton and Leicester. Rodgers hopes his team can emerge as a real contender.

"With real thought," he said to reporters when asked if he was thinking about getting a European place.

"I said from my first time here that was what I wanted to achieve, and hopefully that can be the case throughout my time here.

"I'd take it at any time. We're here to win games. We're also here to build a team and so we're certainly not going to go into games without trying.

"I've said to the players 'there are seven cup finals' and it was a good performance, exceptional.

"They will get better, day by day in training, and game by game, you can see how they're looking to work and the confidence they're gaining from it."
