Leicester City enter four days that promise to define their season, with Craig Shakespeare insisting he can be the club's long-term manager and Claudio Ranieri preparing to break his silence on the Premier League's most controversial sacking.
Shakespeare takes Leicester to Everton on Sunday aiming to extend his 100 per cent record in all competitions to seven matches and in doing so effectively confirm the side's safety ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.
Already Shakespeare has enough credit in the bank for sources to tell Sportsmail that the former assistant is expected to be offered the No 1 role beyond this summer once the campaign is complete.
