Leicester City manager Dean Smith has slammed broadcasters after it was revealed that his side would play four consecutive matches on Monday nights as the season run-in approaches. The Foxes will now play all but one game - their final one of the season - after every other side around them in the table has played theirs, which Smith believes will put added pressure to stay in the Premier League on his players.
Leeds United's relegation rivals will face West Ham on a Sunday, their last match of the season on May 28th, but will have to climb out of the bottom three before then with a dodgy schedule.
"I'm not so sure that I agree with the scheduling when there's a lot of big games being played, and there's a lot of teams who are involved in getting out of a relegation battle," Smith said in his Friday press conference.

"To be playing after everybody isn't right, personally, with the scheduling. It is what it is and we deal with that. I don't believe you've got any choice in it, once broadcasters have picked which games they're going to broadcast, you're stuck with it unfortunately.
"It's just a bit odd that we're playing four Monday games on the spin. It does (add pressure), because the table can look very different after some fixtures and you're having to react to that, I suppose, in some games.
"We can't do anything about that, all we can do is concentrate on ourselves and look to get wins, especially at home."
