Nigel Pearson still confident of Leicester City survival

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson insists that his side will be "fine" in the Premier League this season, despite not winning in their last seven matches.

Nigel Pearson has insisted that Leicester City will be "fine" in the Premier League this season despite their seven-match run without a win.

The Foxes were held to a goalless draw with Sunderland yesterday and have not won since their 5-3 victory over Manchester United in September.

The Leicester manager told reporters: "If the players play in that fashion we'll be fine. We created chances. Things didn't quite go our way but the performance I'm pretty pleased with.

"It's only our second clean sheet of the season and the margins remain pretty small but I'm happy with the performance. I think we played pretty well and worked their goalkeeper.

"We have players with the ability to play different formations, today we went with a 4-4-2. Formation is one thing, but it's application that matters. When the players apply themselves we can play most formations."

The draw was at the King Power Stadium was enough to lift the Foxes out of the bottom three and to 17th in the table.
