Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson believes that his side can still reach the Championship playoffs after their 2-0 win over Coventry City.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has claimed that his side can still reach the Championship playoffs after their 2-0 win over Coventry City.

Goals from David Nugent and Jermaine Beckford have seen the Foxes move to within seven points off the top six.

"The players are very confident, so there is still a chance," said Pearson. "There's a long way to go yet, but the margin of error is getting tighter.

"If we show the same application we have in the last month or two, there is still a chance we can achieve something this season."

Leicester next travel to struggling Bristol City in the league on Tuesday.
