Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha has urged supporters to be the '12th man' for the remainder of the Foxes’ Championship title race.

Enzo Maresca's men welcome West Brom to the King Power Stadium in the first of four games before the end of the season. They host Southampton on Tuesday night before travelling to Preston North End and finishing the season against Blackburn Rovers.

City will earn an instant return to the Premier League if they win all four games, but Leeds and Southampton continue to chase a spot in the automatic spaces.

Ahead of Saturday's game with West Brom, Top has pleaded for supporters to get behind Maresca's side to help them get over the line.

"We've reached a crucial stage of the season and our fight to win promotion back to the Premier League. As we head into these vital final four games, I wanted to take the opportunity to address our supporters directly," he said in his programme notes.

"The Championship is a long season and we have fought hard to be in a position where our destiny is in our own hands. Now we must stand together, fight together – players, staff and supporters – and do everything we can to get over the line.

"Three of our four remaining games are here at King Power Stadium and that is an opportunity we must make the most of. Give the team every bit of support you have. If things go well, be the force we use to capitalise. If we suffer in the game, be the force that pulls us through. Our opponents must fear they can never break our spirit, never break our togetherness, never break our belief. Foxes never quit. No matter what.

"From first whistle to last, we need you to be the 12th player, to lift the team when they need it, to make life difficult for our opponents and to leave the stadium having felt you’ve made a difference to the outcome. Players and fans together – let’s leave everything out on the pitch. We all know the results we need. Let’s play our part in fighting for them.

"Foxes. Never. Quit."
