Kevin Phillips is calling on Leicester’s players to keep their season alive until the final two games of the season.
The Foxes boosted their Premier League survival chances with a 2-1 win at home to West Ham United on Saturday, but they remain six points adrift of safety, albeit with a game in hand all the teams around them.
And with their remaining fixtures pitting them against only one of the top six sides, at home to Chelsea at the end of this month, no-one at the King Power Stadium will be throwing in the towel just yet.
And first-team coach Phillips is hopeful his players will pick up enough points between now and the final two games of the campaign – against fellow strugglers Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers – to keep their destiny in their own hands.
“Let’s hope we’ve given ourselves a fighting chance when we come to those last two fixtures,” he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
“If we can get there with a fighting chance it will be a good achievement. And who would have given us that chance when we were sitting bottom at Christmas?”
