Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has not even considered the defending Premier League champions being relegated from the Premier League this season.

Heading into Saturday afternoon's clash at bottom-of-the-table Sunderland, Claudio Ranieri's side lie 14th in the table, just two points above the drop zone after only three wins all campaign.

"The thought [of being relegated] had not entered my mind," Morgan said in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News.

"I know we are almost where we would like to be with our performances on the pitch and we need to find that form and I am sure once we get that win, we will pick up another one and we will start finding some momentum again.

"It is relatively early days, we are just over a third of the way through the season I think, there are plenty of points and time to go. We just remain positive and I am sure things will turn around.

"We're not at the right end of the table, that's for sure, but we have to keep going. I'm sure our luck will change at some point and we'll turn it around."
