Howard has scored four goals for the Foxes this season

Leicester City striker Steve Howard has said he is happy to do the ground work as Matty Fryatt adds to his goal tally.

Fryatt hit a hat-trick in the Foxes' 3-2 FA Cup win over Dagenham and Redbridge to take his total to 19 for the season.

Howard told BBC Radio Leicester: "He's on fire and I hope he continues that way, so I'll try and do the dirty work and let him stick the goals in.

"When confidence is going through you like that you can do anything."

Howard added: "I think he'll go from strength to strength.

"He's got a fantastic touch and eye for a goal and I hope he keeps doing that."

Leicester are one point ahead of MK Dons at the top of League One and entertain Southend United on Saturday.
