Showcasing a 'relentless mentality' to counteract the congested fixture schedule which awaits Leicester City this winter is a priority for manager Brendan Rodgers ahead of a 12-game run between now and the New Year.
That spell begins on Saturday with the visit of top-flight leaders Chelsea, while Legia Warsaw and Watford head to King Power Stadium before the end of the month, in the UEFA Europa League and the Premier League respectively. It's undoubtedly going to be a challenge, but it's one Rodgers is excited by.
With so many points to play for, plus a place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, over the coming month, the Foxes manager has called on his players to rise to the occasion. Making sacrifices and showing dedication in training will be essential if Leicester are to climb the standings this winter, he believes.
