Leicester City boss Dean Smith insists there's no doubting the players' attitude after defeat to Liverpool last night.

The Foxes were thumped 3-0 at home to leave them in the bottom three.

Smith said, “We haven't got long to go; we've got two games and we know we have to go and win them. We play again Monday and we'll have a better idea after the weekend games of what we need to do, but we have to get lifted.

“They are Premier League footballers and as I've said – these players care. You can't say there wasn't fight out on the pitch. There was effort, they put the running numbers in, but unfortunately, we got beat by the better team tonight.

“We create chances against most teams but we've got to keep a clean sheet in the last two just to give us a chance."

Leicester next meet Newcastle at St James' Park.
