On the brink
Leicester sit on the brink of relegation from the Premier League following their 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool on Monday night.
Curtis Jones scored a first-half brace before Trent Alexander-Arnold capped off a perfect night for the Reds, who now sit one point behind Newcastle and Manchester United in the race for Champions League football.
Jonny Evans returned for the Foxes following a lengthy spell on the sidelines but admitted after the game that his side were caught out by their opponents and not good enough to get back in it.
He said: “I thought the first 25 minutes until they scored, we were playing well. The first goal caught us out and the quick second goal kills us off.
“You’re always at your most vulnerable when you concede. It knocks your confidence.”
There is no time to dwell for the East Midlands side with two games to go but a loss against Newcastle on Monday could see them exit the top flight.
On the club’s form this season, Evans said: “We haven’t been good this season and that’s just the bottom line.
“We’ve lost too many games and other teams have been better than us. We’ve two more games left and we’ll have to put in the same effort we showed tonight.”
Inzaghi hungry for Turkish delight
Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi is confident that his players can overcome AC Milan once again to book their place in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
The Nerazzurri stormed into a 2-0 lead at the San Siro last week and will go again in front of an expectant home crowd in Italy’s second-largest city.
Ahead of the clash, Inzaghi said: “It is one of the biggest matches in Inter’s history. We come into it with a deserved lead, we will come out and play to the best of our abilities.
“We are 90 minutes away from achieving a dream and we have also reached the Coppa Italia final, my players deserve a lot of credit.
“We know we have an advantage, but we have achieved nothing yet.
“We have to have effort, aggression and determination and with all that we can be confident.
“It’s been a difficult journey but we are still here and we want to keep going in this competition.”
