Leicester City manager Dean Smith has urged his players to focus on their final game of the season against West Ham United on Sunday. The Foxes are currently in 18th place in the Premier League table and need to win to avoid relegation to the Championship. Smith has told his players to ignore the fact that their fate is not in their own hands and to simply focus on winning the game.
"We have to win the game and not look at the Everton result until after the game," Smith said. "We have to do our job and see where it takes us."
Smith's side will be without defender Caglar Soyuncu for the match but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jonny Evans and Ricardo Pereira will be available, while Wilfried Ndidi is doubtful.
Smith, who was appointed in April until the end of the season after the departure of Brendan Rodgers, said the outcome of the game would not impact his future at the club.
"Not at all, my future was to come in for seven weeks and eight games and that hasn't changed," he said.
"My future is exactly the same. That is a question to have after the game and not before it."
Leicester City's final game of the season against West Ham United will be played on Sunday, May 29th at 2:00 PM BST.
