Leicester City Under-23s are doing their best to keep pace with the senior side.

Brendan Rodgers’ men have recorded nine straight wins in all competitions and the development squad are only just behind, reaching eight victories in a row with a 2-1 success against reigning champions Everton in Premier League 2 on Monday night.

The result, secured by a quickfire double from Admiral Muskwe and Callum Wright, means Steve Beaglehole’s youngsters sit third in the Premier League 2 table, one point off top, while their winning streak has also taken them into the last 16 of the EFL Trophy.

Soon, they will match the senior side in more than just a good run of form.

After signing a new long-term contract to 2025 last week, Rodgers plans for joined-up thinking among all the City sides.

He wants to create a “Leicester way” with the same tactics and style evident across the senior, development and youth teams.

Rodgers said: “Initially, when you come in, you impose your way on the first team, and help the coaches and they work.

"But over time, fundamentally, we would like the team to follow those principles. Our game has always been based around a playing style at the top level of the game, and that's based around being in balance, through all aspects, so you defend well, press well, have possession of the ball, and counter-attack.

"So we'd hopefully synchronise a style of football throughout the club, and when you have a manager for a longer period of time, that helps.

“Yeah, absolutely [I want to build a ‘Leicester way’], and that's the exciting part."
