Brendan Rodgers is adamant that he is the right man to turn things around at Leicester City.
The Foxes have lost their last six Premier League games, and are bottom of the table having failed to register a win this term.
Ahead of Monday night's crunch clash with fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest, the former Liverpool manager insists that he has the full backing of the Leicester owners.
“I’m honest and reflective with myself but I also know I’m the best person to help this team move forward,” he said.
“I haven’t (spoken to the owners). The ownership trust me and expect I will turn it around. If they don’t they will tell me.
“Our conversations are very open and honest. I have seen Top (chairman) a number of times and we speak when he’s over.
“I have had nothing but support from the club but they also understand where we sit and that’s why we look forward to the game on Monday.
“If you are bottom and have lost six out of seven you are not going to be flavour of the month. You don’t isolate yourself, that’s important, I love working with these players.
“I believe, like last season, we will come good. It has been a tough start but I see these players work and it ultimately gives me strength.”
It is the first top flight meeting between the sides since 1999 and first for eight years.
Forest are second bottom, three points above the Foxes, and winless since beating West Ham in August having lost the last four.
“Every game is important. Especially when we’re searching for a first win,” said Rodgers.
“This one feels significant because of our position and what has gone before. I’m hoping we can perform and get the win which will hopefully be a huge shot of confidence for the players.
“It won’t be easy but that’s our challenge to go and embrace that.”
Wilfred Ndidi should shake off a hamstring injury after returning from international duty early while Ricardo Pereira (Achilles) and Ryan Bertrand (knee) remain out.
