Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson feels their Premier League status will be decided over Christmas.

The Foxes lost 1-0 at home to Manchester City yesterday.

"We need to be out the bottom three because we are bottom of the league and we are adrift at the moment. That is something we need to deal with but ultimately we have to look to the next game and make sure our performance levels give us the chance to win the game," he said.
