James confident Leicester have the quality to survive

Matty James says there is no need for Leicester City to panic, despite dropping into the relegation zone following a five-game winless run. The midfielder told BBC East Midlands Today: "We don't look out of place.

"We have been a little unlucky at times but we have to create our own luck. In certain games we have managed the games wrong but we are learning from it."

Leicester's last win was the incredible 5-3 success against Manchester United, a result that took them up to seventh place.

The 23 year old added: "The expectations might have been raised because of the start we had and the result we had against Manchester United.

"But the key thing for the players and staff is to survive. We have to up our performances and turn things around.

"It's fine margins. There have been one or two individual errors and we have not taken our chances at the other end. We have to make sure when we do get an opportunity we take it and then defend better."
