Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed he is ignoring the ‘narrative’ surrounding his future ahead of his side’s clash with Leeds United on Thursday. The two sides both head into the game out of form with the Whites not having won in six matches, and Leicester having accumulated just five points all season.
Rodgers has been under pressure at Leicester for much of the season and after their terrible start to the season, Leeds could intensify that with a win this week. He is currently among the favourites to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, though, Rodgers insisted he is paying no notice to the outside noise and believes he has seen progress from his side in recent weeks ahead of the visit of Leeds.
