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."

You might not hear the old terrace refrain of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' as often as you used to, but it still has a better ring than 'the shirt's not fit for you to wear'.

Championship leaders Coventry City launched a new collection on Friday, proudly taking inspiration from a kit widely dubbed the 'Worst of All Time'.

A take on the club's infamous brown change strip worn away from Highfield Road from 1978 to 1981, the modern reinvention features what the club calls "a deeper chocolate plum colour with sky blue elements".

Many would suggest it sounds tastier than it looks.

Leicester City midfielder Jordan James and defender Jamaal Lascelles may be available for Saturday's game against Norwich (12:30 GMT).

James has missed six matches with a hamstring injury while Lascelles has been absent for the past two, but both have returned to training.

"We are looking at Saturday, but we are also looking at the games after that," manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester.

"But those two would be important players to get back in the squad so if we can do that safely we will do. I might have to put a few medical people's arms behind their back tomorrow and see if I can sway that decision."

Rowett has also confirmed that Abdul Fatawu will be available to start after coming off the bench during their 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on Tuesday.

The Ghana winger had missed the previous game against Stoke with a knee issue.

"He'd not been available two or three days before and if I had started him, I think there would be every chance he wouldn't be available at all for this game," Rowett added.

"He's trained this morning so I think he'll be good to go for however we want to use him."

Leicester will try to end their eight-game winless Championship streak and climb out of the relegation zone when they host Norwich on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

The Foxes remain third-bottom, a point behind West Brom, despite picking-up back-to-back draws under Gary Rowett, at Stoke last Saturday and at Middlesbrough on Tuesday night, but have lost their past three games at the King Power and last won against Albion on 5 January.

Norwich climbed to 17th, eight points clear of the drop-zone after following last Saturday's home defeat to Birmingham with a 2-0 success against Sheffield Wednesday at Carrow Road on Wednesday night.

• Leicester have won each of their past five league games against Norwich, since a 1-0 loss in the Premier League in February 2020.

• Norwich have conceded at least twice in each of their past five league games against Leicester, as many times as they had in their previous 20 against the Foxes.

• Leicester have lost their past three Championship home games. They last lost more consecutively in the same season (outside the top-flight) in April 1914.

• Norwich have won four of their past five away league games (L1), as many as in their previous 31 on the road (D12 L15).

• Only three players have scored more away league goals for Norwich City this season than Mo Toure (3), despite the Australian playing just 60 minutes on the road so far.
