Manager Gary Rowett says the "urgency" of Leicester City's fight to avoid relegation is clear to everyone.

The Foxes are five points adrift of safety with four games remaining, and travel to relegation rivals Portsmouth on Saturday.

If beaten at Fratton Park, Leicester City could be relegated as early as Tuesday if results elsewhere also go against them.

"It still comes down to doing the right things in games to win games," he told BBC Radio Leicester.

"We haven't done what we need to do, therefore we are in a position that we don't want to be in. The only thing we can do is concentrate on winning the next game or doing everything you can to win the next game.

"We are running out of games, we know that and we understand the urgency of the situation.

"If other teams around us are winning their games, then good for them because they are doing their job. We can't reply on other people."
