Leicester boss Pearson: We must repeat Man Utd energy for Liverpool clash

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is throwing down the gauntlet to his players tonight.

Pearson has challenged his players to meet the contest of Liverpool - with the same swashbuckling style as they did against Manchester United earlier this season.

"We're in a position we don't want to be in," the Leicester manager said. "There is a tendency to look at things too negatively but in isolation we've played well in games.

"We need to rectify it pretty sharpish, it's a good game for us against Liverpool. It's against a very big club who had a superb season last year.

"They've not replicated it so far but it's still the type of fixture our players will be looking forward to. I hope we rise to another occasion like we did against Manchester United."
