Sven: Play-off place unlikely

19 April 2011 14:00
Sven-Goran Eriksson has accepted the likelihood that Leicester will still be a Championship club at the start of next season. However, the City boss has vowed not to give up the fight for a play-off spot until it is mathematically impossible. Leicester are five points adrift of a coveted top six place with just four matches remaining, starting with a must-win game against East Midlands rivals and fellow promotion contenders Nottingham Forest on Friday. "We will probably be where we are next season, but we have to keep fighting," Eriksson told the Leicester Mercury. "Mathematically it is still a possibility, but it gets more difficult after every game. I am sure we are going to fight at Forest."
