Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez refuses to contemplate Premier League relegation

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has admitted that he is refusing to consider the thought of dropping back into the Championship.

The Foxes are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table having picked up just 18 points from 26 games.

Mahrez told BBC East Midlands Today: "I played six months in the Championship but it is too long with 46 games. I don't want to think about that. I want to walk out for my team and think we can stay in the Premier League."

The club are currently four points from safety and will take on Manchester City in their next game on March 4.
