Brendan Rodgers insists he is fully backed by the Leicester board despite their disappointing start to the season - ahead of the Foxes' clash with Midlands rivals Aston Villa in a crucial bottom-of-the-table clash

Brendan Rodgers is confident he has the full support of Leicester's hierarchy ahead of Saturday's Midlands derby against Aston Villa.

Leicester are bottom of the table with only a point from their opening six matches and have lost five in a row.

Failure to beat Steven Gerrard's side – who are also struggling – would place further doubts around Rodgers' future but the Foxes boss, who led the club to the FA Cup last year as well as consecutive fifth-place finishes in 2020 and 2021, believes he retains the backing of key figures at the King Power Stadium.
