Leicester City 4-0 Tranmere Rovers: What Cooper said

Leicester City manager Steve Cooper has been speaking to BBC Radio Leicester after his side earned their first competitive win under his leadership in the Carabao Cup: "I just felt that for all of our dominance and territory in the first half, we could have been more of a threat on goal. To be fair to them, we threw that challenge at the lads at half-time and they definitely took it.

"It was good to see some of the young guys on the pitch as well. There were a couple of debuts, so lots of positives [to take from it]."

On having seven academy products in his squad for the fixture: "I didn't know that but seven graduates is a great return, so kudos to the academy. We aren't going to hand debuts out. They have got to earn them - and the players have.

"We will always - when we can - give young players who deserve an opportunity exactly that. It was good to see that was the case in this game."

On whether some of the younger players, like Will Alves and Chris Popov, could have a big part to play this season: "They are training with us. The reality is that we need and want a squad that can really compete in the Premier League, week in and week out. Whatever that consists of, I'm fine with. We just have to make sure we are at that level.

"So, let's see. There are a couple of days left [in the transfer window] and I imagine some ins and outs will happen. Let's see what it looks like when the window shuts."
