Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers has slammed his players' inconsistency by demanding a mental reset to ensure they qualify for next season's Champions League.

This comes after their a 2-1 loss at Everton on Wednesday night making it two points from their three games since the Premier League resumed.

They were fortunate fourth-placed Chelsea failed to take advantage, also losing on Wednesday, but in-form Manchester United and Wolves are just three points behind with six games to play.

“I know we have a very young group, a young squad that is developing, but if you want to consistently compete at the very top end of this table it is a mindset,” said Leicester boss Rodgers.

“I think we have shown over the course of the season we have got the talent but there is no doubt that we have to have a reset mentally if we are going to go and achieve what we want to achieve.”

Rodgers said his team were still in a “fantastic” position.

“We have been terrific for a lot of the season,” he said. “Our level has been high and somehow we need to work our way back to that.”
