Heskey urges Leicester fans to keep the faith

Emile Heskey has urged Leicester City fans to keep the faith.

Heskey says he has seen enough of City to make him believe they can dig themselves out of relegation trouble and kick on in the top flight.

"They started the season off really good," Heskey told the Leicester Mercury. "Defensively they were arguably one of the best in the league at the time, very sound, but recently a few errors have crept in and they have conceded some sloppy goals.

"But I still feel they have enough, as they showed in that game against Manchester United.

"There is plenty there. They just need to showcase that week in and week out. Everyone knows that is difficult, to find that consistency. That is what everyone wants.

"City have a good squad, with some good young players. I don't see why we can't kick on.

"I think when you go from the Championship to the Premier League, the major difference is any mistake gets punished straight away.

"Teams are relentless in that respect, so you have to be really focused for 95 minutes because people will punish you."
