Since taking charge, Rowett has worked hard to fix Leicester’s defensive problems. The Foxes now look more organised at the back, and there are clear signs of improvement in their structure.
Leicester are struggling badly going forward, and it’s starting to become a serious issue. The team is not creating enough chances, and when they do, they are not taking them.
Players like Jordan Ayew and Patson Daka have not been effective enough, and the lack of goals is putting the team under pressure.
With the season reaching a critical stage, the Leicester boss is demanding more from his attacking players. He wants better movement, sharper finishing, and more urgency in front of goal especially against Preston.

The international break has disrupted his plans, with many first-team players away on national duty. This has made it difficult for Rowett to properly prepare his squad for the upcoming match.
Speaking about the situation, Rowett admitted his frustration:
“We have two weeks where many players won’t be here. That’s the challenge. The match is on Friday, and many won’t be back until Thursday, which complicates things.”
“Sometimes you think you can work with your team during this period, but it’s actually the opposite. It’s probably the worst time because you can’t properly work with the players.”
Despite this, Rowett is still pushing the remaining squad members hard in training. He is focusing on fitness, sharpness, and trying to fix the attacking issues as much as possible before the game.
