  6. Pereira warns time is running out for Leicester

    Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira has acknowledged that time is running out for the Foxes to save themselves from a second successive relegation.

    Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Norwich City meant they went through February without a win in league or cup, and their only victory of 2026 was as far back as 5 January, against West Bromwich Albion.

    "We need to get the most points we can in each game and not think we have time, that's the worst mistake we can make," Pereira told BBC Radio Leicester.

    "We just [have to] think the next game will be better, get our points, and with the help of our fans, to get to our goal."

    Pereira played six games last month, five of them starts, and although he has had injury issues in the past couple of seasons, he said he was feeling good and "trying to be in the best shape possible".

    On the Norwich game, he added: "In the second half, they had more of the ball than we wanted [them] to have. You have to defend deep when you don't have the ball and it makes it harder and harder.

    "It was a big game. To lose at home in front of our fans makes things harder for us."

    Leicester are away to promotion-chasing Ipswich Town on Saturday, the first of 11 games they have left until the end of the season.

    Gary Rowett: 'The two goals sum up the season so far'

    Leicester manager Gary Rowett suffered his first loss as Leicester manager and expressed his concern that his team conceded too easily in the home defeat against Norwich City.

    Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester: "It was very disappointing [after two draws] after the way we attacked in those two games.

    "There were some real positives from those games. Maybe away from home there is less pressure on the players but I expected a little bit more energy about the performance.

    "We were waiting for something to happen in the game, everyone looking around and waiting for a team-mate to do something instead of doing something themselves.

    "The two goals sum up this season. It's been too easy to score against us, and I have to do something about that. The first one we allowed them to come inside and create the chance quite easily and the second is a cross into the box that should get cleared."
