Steve Cooper and Brendan Rodgers must fight for survival

Daily Mail  

Brendan Rodgers and Steve Cooper are two of the best British coaches in the business yet both know defeat tonight would leave their positions in great danger.

Steve Cooper is equally vulnerable with Forest sitting only one place above the Foxes in 19th ‘I speak to the owner after most games and conversations have been normal,’ said Cooper. ‘It’s always difficult that first year back in the Premier League,’ said Rodgers, who led Swansea to the top flight in 2011. I also know I’m the best person to lead this team forward and that’s something we will do in the coming weeks.’ Where Rodgers has lamented the lack of transfer activity at Leicester, who signed only one outfield player this summer, Cooper’s problem is that there has been too much.
