Leicester City are keeping options open in the search for a replacement to Claudio Ranieri, and the performance of the team against Hull on Saturday will play a major role.
Sportsmail's revelation on Tuesday that club representatives have spoken to Roy Hodgson was intriguing but Craig Shakespeare retains pole position after the manner of Monday night's victory over Liverpool and the first-team coach could be confirmed as in charge until the end of the season with another win.
A number of other candidates have been sounded out since Ranieri was dismissed last Thursday and should the team bomb against Hull talks would resume.
