Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson says they won't give up on beating the drop.
The Foxes were bundled out of the FA Cup at Aston Villa on the weekend.
"There is no suggestion the players will give up," said Pearson.
"I never thought it would be easy but we're not making life easy for ourselves. We are making it more difficult than we should be.
"We know we have a lot to do this season but what we have to do is find a way of being consistent during a game, and then game to game."
