Leicester City boss Dean Smith has rubbished talk of a lack of fight from his side following a 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool. Leeds United's draw with Newcastle at the weekend saw the Whites jump above the Foxes and move to within a point of safety.
Leicester are set to play Newcastle and West Ham in their final two games of the season, but could be relegated with defeat to the Magpies, if Leeds and Everton win their next fixture. A brace from Curtis Jones and a brilliant strike from Trent Alexander-Arnold wrapped up the three points for Liverpool who keep up the pressure on their top-four rivals.
There were boos at full-time and chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” from Leicester supporters, but Smith dismissed any suggestions that their latest defeat was due to a lack of fight. He told Leicester Live: “We’re all supporters in here. We all support football clubs and you want to see your football club winning.
