FOXES MUST STAY POSITIVE

SATURDAY’S 2-1 defeat against Chelsea leaves Leicester just a place above the relegation zone with a solitary victory from their opening four matches.

The home side were the better team after pulling a goal back but could not fashion an equalising goal.

“We have to stay positive as a group because we knew that the first six games were going to be difficult as we play last year’s top four and champions,” said Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare.

“Performance wise I though it was ok in terms of our commitment. We showed great endeavour to go right to the end of the game.

“When we went 2-0 down experience tells you that a team like Chelsea will make it very hard to get back in it.

“Past history tells you that Chelsea might go on and win it three or four but we showed a lot character and a lot of resilience.
