Leicester City has tonight issued a statement stating that manager Nigel Pearson remains in charge.
There had been reports earlier that Pearson had been sacked by the Premier League's bottom side.
It comes following an incident with Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat.
As well as winning just two league games in their last 19 matches, Pearson didn't take kindly to McArthur colliding with him following a challenge on a Leicester player from the midfielder.
Despite what appeared to be Pearson helping the Scotsman up after putting his hands near to his neck, Pearson then kept hold of McArthur's shirt.
The player dismissed the incident after the game.
Leicester's official statement says: "Contrary to media speculation on Sunday evening, Nigel remains the Club's First Team Manager. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate and without foundation.
"Nigel, his staff and the first team squad are entirely focused on Tuesday night's trip to Arsenal and our continued efforts to secure our position in the Barclays Premier League."
