Fulham attacker Andre Schurrle is convinced they can stay up with manager Claudio Ranieri in charge.

Schurrle was speaking after defeat at Manchester United.

"Claudio Ranieri knows the Premier League very well and he knows how to win games," Schurrle said of the man who masterminded Leicester's remarkable title triumph.

"He knows how to play, and he knows that we have to be compact, we have to be solid, we have to defend with all 10 men sometimes.

"We are still getting used to it because it's a lot of tactics, a lot of defensive work because at the moment we need it.

"We need a clean sheet somehow to get some confidence in our defending and that's what we're trying to do."
