Leicester City fullback Ricardo Pereira has hailed the impact of manager Brendan Rodgers.

Leicester are on course to qualify for next season's Champions League with the club sitting third in the Premier League, holding an eight-point cushion over fifth-place Manchester United.

Pereira puts his good form and the team's success down to manager Rodgers.

Pereira, currently recovering from knee surgery, told Sky Sports: "Since he arrived, we've changed for the better.

"As a team and an individual, I think he's played a big part in our success and I think with him we can keep going like this."
