Liam Moore says Leicester City's players are backing manager Nigel Pearson

As well as having the backing of the owners, Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson also has the support of his players, says defender Liam Moore.

The City boss has been under fire in the last two months as his side have slipped from second to seventh in the Championship.

Their run of just six points from a possible 33 has led to speculation over Pearson's future at the King Power Stadium.

But Moore said this is not a concern for the players. "It doesn't matter, we are going out there to do a job for him," he said.

"We are going out there as Leicester City players and he is our manager so we will do everything we can for him.

"It's just business as usual. We train every day, we work hard every day and we go out there to try and win every game we play. Nothing changes that.

"If we are winning every game, speculation is going to be that he's going to a bigger team. If we are not getting the results, as we are now, obviously there is speculation the other way."

The 20-year-old was recalled from his loan spell at League One side Brentford following Wes Morgan's red card against Millwall.

He made his return to action as a 30th-minute substitute in their 2-0 defeat against Barnsley.

The England under-21 international said he enjoyed his time with The Bees but loves being back in a City shirt.

"It was good (at Brentford), I got game time which is what I aimed to do," he said. "I've come back match fit and it was everything it was set out to be.

"I had been sitting on the bench quite a bit. I had played a few under-21 games but there is nothing like first-team football. Brentford offered me that. To get seven in a month there can only have done me favours."

Moore impressed at right-back after replacing Ritchie De Laet against Barnsley and is now looking to secure his place for City's trip to Brighton tomorrow.

"I have got a look in now," said Moore. "It's down to me now and, if I can play games, that's all I can ask for."
