Leicester boss Pearson happy to stick with two up front

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is happy to stick with his attacking tactics.

While many teams in the Premier League play with just one striker, City have utilised an attacking 4-4-2 formation with David Nugent partnering Leonardo Ulloa.

"So far, they have been three good games of football," he said. "We have been positive in all three games. We haven't had a negative mentality.

"We have tried to attack when possible, but we have to understand the types of games we have got.

"We have had a game-plan for all three games against very good sides.

"We realise that we can't possibly outplay them at their own games, so we have to be ourselves but the players have acquitted themselves very well."
