Shakespeare says he will address City’s first-team players when they return to training on Saturday morning, as he readies them for a clash against Jurgen Klopp’s high-flying Reds, with the Foxes looking to turn around a recent run of poor Premier League form.

“My remit is to get the players fit and ready for the Liverpool game,” Shakespeare told the media ahead of Monday’s encounter with Liverpool.

He added: “Confidence can go very quickly but it can come back very quickly. My aim is to try to restore that very quickly. 

“I’ve had experience as a player and experience as a coach and again, players experience lots of lows and highs and we have to make sure that they’re focused and ready for Monday’s game.”
