Leicester boss Pearson urges 'resilient' squad to get on with the job

Leicester City have to simply 'get on with the job' according to manager Nigel Pearson.

The Foxes remained rooted to the foot of the Premier League table following Wednesday night's 2-0 loss at Manchester City which has them in a very precarious position with just 10 fixtures remaining in the 2014/15 season.

Pearson knows that is enough time to launch a remarkable recovery to avoid a straight drop for the reigning Championship winners but knows they have to remain robust throughout the testing times.

"They are a resilient group so we will have to get on with it," he told Sky Sports.

"We can't do anything about it. It is up to the authorities. Our players give everything they have got and they have done again tonight.

"There are lots of positive and we have to take them into the remaining games. There is no point dwelling on negative aspects of situations that we have no control of."
