Leicester City v Southampton

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says his side have to "stay calm" in their FA Cup semi-final against Southampton on Sunday.

They are third in the Premier League, 11 places above Southampton, but have suffered back-to-back league defeats.

"In these moments that ability to have that self-control is very important," said Rodgers.

"When it counts most is when you are under pressure. We want to get into the final and we can only do that with performing well.

"If you overthink it or get nervous it can immobilise you. You stay calm, give clarity to the team and then arrive and look to play your game.
