LEICESTER HIT OUT AT PUNISHMENT PLAN

Leicester manager Micky Adams knows his side cannot afford any slip ups on Sunday if they are to clinch the First Division title.

They face Norwich at the Walkers Stadium just a few hours before leaders Portsmouth entertain Rotherham.

A victory is vital for Leicester who are two points adrift of their promotion rivals with only two games remaining.

Adams is aware the odds are against them but is up for the challenge.

"If I was a betting man I would say Portsmouth have already got the title but football is not like that," he told the club's website, www.lcfc.co.uk

"What we have got to do is get our job right. That means getting three points on Sunday.

"That will put a little bit of pressure on Portsmouth to get a result in their game.

"We want to send the fans away happy and we know they will be in real party mood.

"But that won't mean anything if we lose the game. That is certainly the way I am going to approach it."

Norwich striker Ryan Jarvis will be hoping to retain his place after an impressive show in the defeat by Wolves, which ended their play-off hopes.

David Nielsen is pushing for a place in the side following a hat-trick for the reserves in midweek.

Harry Redknapp believes Portsmouth have earned the right to be crowned champions.

The former West Ham boss can see the finishing post after a superb season at Fratton Park.

Redknapp's side are in buoyant mood ahead of the Rotherham game following the defeat of Reading on Easter Monday.

"We were very relaxed against them and that allowed us to open up and entertain, Redknapp told the club's website, www.pompeyfc.co.uk.

"I think we deserve to win the title because we have been up at the top all season save the odd game.

"Obviously Leicester have been chasing us hard and all credit to them.

"It would be lovely to go on and get the title but at the end of the day we are in the Premier League and it's what we do there that is the major factor now."

Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore will be without midfielders John Mullin and Curtis Woodhouse through suspension and a knee injury respectively.

Striker Darren Byfield has also been ruled out as he is on international duty with Jamaica.
