  16. 'No hiding' for Foxes - Cifuentes

    Marti Cifuentes: 'I expect much more'

    Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes spoke to BBC Radio Leicester following Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Blackburn Rovers.

    "It was definitely a poor performance, there is no hiding from that," he said.

    "There is more in this group of players, I'm sure, and we now need a reaction. I understand that we cannot keep waiting. I expect much more from them.

    "When a club like Leicester is in the Championship, the expectation is that they are always at the top. And at the moment we are not achieving those standards.

    "It's very hard as a manager to come into a place that I knew would be a difficult situation. But I do believe in my strength and quality as a manager, and do believe in the club project.

    "I'm aware as well that this would not be easy and that it would not be quick. But we do have to get better, there are no excuses or hiding. We need to raise our standards."

    Leicester City will look to end their three-match winless streak when they host a struggling Blackburn Rovers side on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

    The Foxes lost both of their past two matches to drop out of the top six and into 10th place, two points short of sixth placed Charlton Athletic and 11 under pacemakers Coventry City.

    Meanwhile, Blackburn's last game provided them with a much needed win over relegated side Southampton to escape the bottom three.

    However, Rovers are just one point above the relegation line and will want to increase the distance to keep their spirits high.

    • Leicester City have lost just one of their last 10 home league games against Blackburn Rovers (W5 D4), though that sole defeat did come the last time this exact fixture was played in May 2024 (0-2).

    • After winning their last away league game against Leicester City, Blackburn Rovers will be looking to beat the Foxes in successive away matches for the first time since January 1991.

    • Leicester have drawn each of their last three home league games and not since March 2009 in League One have the Foxes seen four consecutive home matches finish in stalemate.

    • Blackburn have lost each of their last two away league games without scoring, but they haven't lost three in succession on the road whilst failing to score each time in any since October 2022.

    • Leicester have conceded just one goal from set pieces in the Championship so far this season (excluding penalties), fewer than any other side.
