  2. 'Supporting our captain should be enough motivation'published at 18:29 26 April

    Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the defeat: "I look at the performance and that wasn't good enough. I don't talk about it football-wise, but I talk about it in terms of intensity and duels. We had many easy ball losses in possession, especially in the first half.

    "In the second half, yes we conceded two goals on the break but we were better in those areas. But today wasn't good enough."

    On making a triple change at half-time: "At half-time, Facundo [Buonanotte] had to come off with concussion. Ricardo Pereira had to come off with an injury. Then before half-time, Bobby De-Cordova Reid had to come off as well. It is a shame and shows how tough this season has been, with [Stephy] Mavididi also getting injured. Now those two are injured and there's a concussion.

    "We are fighting towards the end of the season."

    On what he said to the players at half-time: "I had to address the things I shared with you, that it is not acceptable. How intense you press, how intense you make a duel and how easy the ball losses are that are going to create lots of transitions where you have to recover. Those things don't require talent.

    "That was addressed and then we went into the second half where we had the penalty with Jamie [Vardy]. That was so unfortunate. I really wanted him to score to get us back into the game, but also for himself. That summed the game up.

    "The Brighton and Liverpool games were positive, but today was not so it isn't consistent enough. Also, it is a matter of course to keep that motivation and focus going for the team.

    "There is a lot to play for, like Jamie [Vardy]'s last games. Supporting our captain should be enough motivation to push out everything that is left.

    "We look at the 17 teams above us and acknowledge that we weren't at that level. That is very clear - we have to accept it and move on."

    Leicester City have conceded first in 29 of their 34 Premier League games this season, the most by any side in a single 38-game campaign in the competition.

    The Foxes have lost 24 Premier League games this season. Only in 1977-78 and 1994-95 have they ever lost more in a single league campaign in their history (both 25 games).

  5. Sutton's predictions: Wolves v Leicester Citypublished at 11:16 26 April

    How can you back against Wolves here? They are the Premier League's most in-form team based on the past five games, while it is an awfully long time since Leicester enjoyed a victory full-stop.

    Pablo Sarabia's brilliant free-kick gave Wolves their win at Old Trafford last week, and I don't think that result surprised anyone.

    There is talk about Matheus Cunha leaving them to join Manchester United in the summer, but you would think he would set his sights a bit higher.

    Leicester's relegation was confirmed by their defeat against Liverpool and, from top to bottom, the club is in a mess.

    They are only playing for pride now, and I don't see them getting any points here.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-0
