Albrighton: Leicester just have to sort out heavy Man Utd, Liverpool losses

Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton has implored the team to quickly recover from recent heavy defeats in the Premier League.

The reigning English champions have been beaten 4-1 by both Liverpool and Manchester United in the past few weeks but bounced back with a 1-0 triumph over FC Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Albrighton is aware that just one win won't erase those hefty losses to league rivals and has implored the Foxes to recover swiftly in the domestic competition, starting with Sunday's visit of Southampton.

"We have had some tough games, going to Liverpool and Old Trafford, but it's the manner we lost which was tough to take," Albrighton said.

"If we can sort that form out and carry on this form then we'll have good season.

"It's going to be difficult, we are going to do our best. We have got the squad now and options in all positions and we need to make use of them. If we change the side we're not going to be losing out."
