Leicester City striker David Nugent admits they need to improve their home form if they're to beat the drop.

City welcome Spurs to the King Power Stadium today and Nugent believes it is crucial that his side get a result.

"We've got four games now in 12 days, which is ridiculous but this is the time to pick up the points," said the City striker to the Leicester Mercury.

"We need to get our home form back on track. If we're going to stay in the Premier League, then it's our home form that's going to keep us in it. Hopefully, that'll start on Boxing Day.

"We still think we can get out of this mess, get a few results and start climbing the table."
