    "We are creating an identity for ourselves. It's still early on in the season but I think you can see the patterns we are trying to create and it's creating chances so hopefully next game it can all come together," Foxes midfielder Jordan James tells BBC Radio Leicester after their 0-0 draw against Coventry City on Saturday.

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin is joined by former Leicester City winger Matt Piper to discuss a goalless M69 derby on the weekend and the positives the Foxes can take from a match lacking teeth.

    Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes spoke to BBC Radio Leicester after the Foxes' goalless draw with Coventry City.

    "I'm a bit disappointed not to get the three points, especially at home. But we got some answers and definitely, in terms of the performance, steps forward in many areas," he said.

    "We need to keep improving, no doubt about it. We need to be more consistent.

    "In the first 15 or 20 minutes it was difficult to break through the high press and they were very aggressive - we need to get better in those scenarios. But in the last 15 minutes of the first half ad the first 15 or 20 of the second, we were quite good and we could break through them.

    "They are a good team, but perhaps we just missed this last edge in the last third.

    "We had the situations [to score] and I'd be much more worried if we weren't creating those, but in football if you don't score the chances you don't get much."
