Leicester are unlikely to replace coaches Ben Dawson and Danny Alcock after the pair left the Foxes.

First-team coach Dawson and goalkeeping coach Alcock's departures were announced by the club on Monday.

The decision was taken to help Ruud Van Nistelrooy as he battles to save the Foxes from relegation.

First-team coach Jelle ten Rouwelaar, who followed Van Nistelrooy to the King Power Stadium after his appointment November, is a goalkeeping coach so there is no expectation Alcock's role will be filled.

Coach Brian Barry-Murphy (pictured) has made a positive impact since moving to the club in December with the squad impressed with the clarity and quality he brings to the training sessions. Barry-Murphy was Manchester City's elite development squad head coach until last summer.

Set piece coach Andy Hughes remains at the club, having joined from Norwich in the summer, while Premier League winner Andy King returned to the Foxes as their Under-18 assistant coach last week.

Spain defender Laia Codina says the world champions have become stronger because of their battles both on and off the pitch over the past few years.

The most notable of those was the furore and subsequent repercussions caused by former national football federation boss Luis Rubiales kissing Spain player Jenni Hermoso without her consent.

Rubiales was found guilty of sexual assault last week in a case in which Codina testified in support of Hermoso.

"As a group, for sure, I can feel it - we are all so much stronger. We, all of us, have suffered a lot off the pitch," Codina told BBC Sport.

Spain are set to face England in a Nations League fixture at Wembley on Wednesday (20:00 GMT).

Southampton

Southampton's Mateus Fernandes says the team must "fight more" after another heavy defeat on Saturday - this time a 4-0 home loss to Brighton.

Saints have now lost five matches by a three or more goals in the Premier League this season, only losing more in 1998-99 (nine), 2020-21 (six) and 2021-22 (six).

"It's a sad moment for us as a club," Fernandes told BBC Radio Solent's Adam Blackmore.

"We need to do the easy things not the hard things. We need to get more confidence and try to do better.

"When we did make mistakes they scored - one mistake, one goal. It's sad, it's a tough moment for us. We don't have much confidence.

"Confidence is very important in football. We need to do our best, fight more, rest well, eat well and prepare for the next game."

It is a quick turnaround for Ivan Juric's side, who travel to London to face a Chelsea side - who are themselves enduring a difficult run - on Tuesday.

"It's a big game for us. We are not happy - it's too many games we are losing," Fernandes added.

Southampton

Southampton boss Ivan Juric revealed that Flynn Downes "will play" against Chelsea after the pair resolved their differences.

Juric added that the defensive midfielder doesn't have anything to prove, as he steps in forLesley Ugochukwu who is unable to feature against his parent club: "He needs to do his job. I think everyone makes mistakes. I make mistakes and he makes mistakes. There is no problem, he knows I appreciate him as a player."

Southampton boss Ivan Juric confirmed his squad will largely be unchanged to face Chelsea, with nobody returning from injury.

Jan Bednarek will not be in contention after picking up a knock last time out: "It is nothing serious but he will not play in this game. The scan didn't show anything, it is just fatigue."

Just 27 minutes into Friday's game against Brentford, with their side 2-0 down and already looking beaten, some Leicester fans had seen enough.

The natives are restless, even if apathy overshadows anger, after a 4-0 defeat and a sixth consecutive loss at home without scoring in the Premier League - a new record in English top-flight history.

A half-hearted fan protest before and during last weekend's 2-0 loss by Arsenal at the King Power Stadium underlined the struggle to mount a consistent revolt.

But supporters voted with their feet in the pitiful loss to Brentford that kept the Foxes second bottom in the table, streaming out after Christian Norgaard had put the Bees 3-0 up after 32 minutes.

Captain Jamie Vardy said: "There is nothing we can do, everyone is entitled to their opinion and to voice that and that is what the fans are doing. That is up to them, we just have to concentrate on the football and that is all we can do."

Aston Villa

On opponents Crystal Palace, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery said: "They have recovered very well because they started at the beginning not getting many good results. They are getting better.

"In my last two matches against them they have performed very well. They are perhaps playing even better away from home at the moment.

"Tactically it is very difficult to stop them. They are astute and have players coming out on the winning side of duals.

"I respect them a lot and the way they play their matches. Our challenge is to compete with them and it is a really good test.

"I am excited as I want to see how we respond."

Aston Villa

On the importance of qualifying for Europe again this year, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery said: "It depends tomorrow on how we are responding. The league is progressing and the matches are becoming less so we have to recover [the points] that we lost.

"But we are positive and we are more or less trying to be strong again, astute tactically and mentally. We did business in the transfer window and we need time to recover players. Each day and match is a test."

Aston Villa

On the injuries to Tyrone Mings and Morgan Rogers (pictured), Aston Villa boss Unai Emery said: "We are training this afternoon so let's see. We only played on Saturday, which was a very big effort physically and mentally, so we have to recover for tomorrow.

"The difficulty of that going into the next match is always there."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner on playing a three-man defence: "It's never about the system. It's about how the players are moving between the lines. For us, [three at the back] works, especially on the right side we have a very attacking wing back [Daniel Munoz, who scored their second goal in the win against Fulham].

"You can play with a back three and be very vulnerable. You can play with a back four and be very vulnerable - and it can be the opposite.

"We have to think about what’s best for the Aston Villa game, how they play and finding the perfect fit."

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, speaking before Tuesday's game against Aston Villa, has hinted at a first start since last October for midfielder Adam Wharton: "After winning [2-0 against Fulham on Saturday], the mood is good Everybody is feeling well. Players are fit with no injuries, so it's all good."

"It's possible [Wharton] starts the game against Villa. Adam is doing well, doing fine, and there’s a possibility that he starts the game.”

Ipswich Town

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste being substituted with injuries against Spurs was "a blow" and they still have to have scans this afternoon to assess the severity of the issues.

He did not rule the midfield pair out of featuring on Wednesday and will know a timescale after an assessment.

He added Conor Chaplin is "making progress" and trained with the group today, while Julio Enciso is "working with physios" but there is "no real change" in terms of a return date.

Ben Godfrey's half time substitution against Spurs was due to his early yellow card and the defender "trained well today and came in with a good attitude".
