Brendan Rodgers insists this season will be a success for Leicester City even if they miss out on the top-four.

The Foxes suffered a 2-1 loss to Chelsea on Tuesday, which means they will slip out of the top-four if Liverpool beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday.

Speaking about the top-four race, Rodgers said: "Liverpool have a couple of games. Chelsea have a tough game away at Aston Villa.

"I've always said we just need to concentrate on ourselves. We're still in that top four and we've got one more game to go. If we win it and it's still not enough for us we have to accept that. It's still been a great season."

And asked what it would mean to miss out on the top-four, Rodgers added: "It would be really disappointing.

"But our story and your story is different. If we just fall short after 38 games as the team with the eighth biggest budget, it shows we fought really hard and just missed out.

"There are still points to play for and we'll be ready for that."
