Leicester defender Conor Coady, speaking to Sky Sports after relegation to the Championship was confirmed: "We've not been good enough all season. I thought we played quite well today, moved the ball well and nullified Liverpool - they're a world-class side. But we look back on this season and it's not been anywhere near good enough.

"We've got to look at ourselves as players in the mirror. We have to now, what's happened has happened. We have to try and put this club in a better position come the summer because we haven't been good enough.

"We've took a bit of stick and we'll continue to take stick because it's deserved. From minute one this season, we haven't been at a level to fully compete in the Premier League and you have to be because it'll chew you up and spit you out.

"It's something we have to look at because we're absolutely devastated."

Leicester have been relegated from the Premier League for the fifth time (1994-95, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2022-23, and 2024-25), with only Norwich (6) and West Brom (5) ever suffering more relegations in the competition.

Leicester have become the first team in top-flight history to go nine consecutive home league games without scoring. Today was also the first league match at the King Power Stadium in which they've failed to land a shot on target since February 2023 (0 v Arsenal).

Leicester ended their long losing run with a draw at Brighton last weekend, but I'm afraid another defeat is on its way for the Foxes here.

Liverpool were as limp as anything against West Ham last time out, but they still got over the line. They could be even limper against Leicester, and they will still win to move even closer to the title.

Leicester City defender Conor Coady says the club being on the brink of a second relegation in three seasons is "not good enough" and has left him "devastated".

It is possible the Foxes' fate could have been sealed before they kick off against Liverpool on Sunday, if results go against them.

"We can't look too far ahead because we are not in a situation where we can affect anything. We are nowhere near good enough to the teams above us. We can't look at that," said Coady.

"Just show yourself, give the best to yourself every single day. And no matter what happens, we go in the summer and put this club in the best place it can be.

"I never had a relegation in my career. This club is on the verge of having two in three years. It's not good enough. I am absolutely devastated and it's not something I've ever wanted for this club or in my career."

Coady also said the players should make the most of Sunday's opportunity to face Liverpool, who are a maximum of six points away from sealing the title.

"These games don't come around too often," he added. "Given the situation we are in now, we might never get these games again.

"Go and enjoy them. Go and enjoy playing at King Power Stadium against a world-class team on the verge of winning the Premier League title."

Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Liverpool at King Power Stadium (kick-off 16:30 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• The Foxes' relegation could be confirmed before they play on Sunday, although they will definitely be down if they fail to beat the Premier League leaders. Van Nistelrooy said: "We've been in these circumstances [in the bottom three] for a long time. It's not a matter of it being mathematically done or not, it's about us showing ourselves in every possible way for every minute we're in this league. It doesn't affect that bit."

• The former Netherlands striker added: "It's a bigger thing here. We're trying to shape a future here and those weeks are vital for every player. That is what keeps us going."

• Van Nistelrooy reported no new injury concerns, while Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga are likely to be back in full training on Friday and available for Sunday's game.

• He said it was a "big moment" for Abdul Fatawu to return to training on grass, as he continues his recovery from the serious knee injury he sustained in November.

• Asked about the positives from last weekend's 2-2 draw at Brighton, when the Foxes ended their long goal drought, Van Nistelrooy said his side gave a "spirited performance" and it is "something to build on".

• On Liverpool, who could be confirmed as Premier League champions on Sunday: "The general quality of the squad is very balanced. Mohamed Salah's form has been a huge factor in them achieving their goals, and also Arne Slot and his assistants have done a tremendous job in their first season to be in this position to be able to win it."

Former Leicester City striker Matty Fryatt says the club and the players are devoid of belief and fight and blamed "poor recruitment" as one of the fundamental reasons the season has turned out the way it has.

The Foxes find themselves 18th in the Premier League table and needing to win all of their remaining games and hope that either West Ham or Wolves do not win a single game if they are to survive.

Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, Fryatt said: "There's no belief, there's no fight, that's all left them, which is understandable. Haven't been scoring goals, been conceding goals far too easily.

"And as the season has gone on, the gap has got even bigger. Leicester have been really poor.

"You can look at it many ways - the recruitment hasn't been good enough. The players that have come in haven't made much of a difference. Some of them aren't even in matchday squads. And then you've obviously lost key players.

"It's been a really difficult season. Leicester's recruitment has been poor."
