Leeds United relegation rivals Leicester City in 'absolute panic' with Dean Smith appointment

Chris Sutton has claimed that Leeds United's relegation rivals Leicester City are in "absolute panic" over their decision to sack Brendan Rodgers.

Former Norwich and Aston Villa boss Dean Smith will take charge of the Foxes for the rest of the season following Rodgers' departure on April 2. A record 13 managerial changes have taken place in the Premier League this season as nine teams still find themselves battling against relegation with just eight games left to play.

Smith's first fixture in charge will see his side travel to reigning champions Manchester City on Saturday as they look to break their record of losing seven of their last eight Premier League matches. Ahead of that game, Sutton has stated that the club have not covered themselves in glory with their decision to part ways with Rodgers.
