Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says his side has to continue to show their fighting spirit both on and off the pitch in order to turn their form around this season.

The Foxes are currently placed 16th on the Premier League table with 21 points, having won just five out of 23 matches so far this season.

The Italian manager knows that it’s in their hands to turn their form around ahead of their Premier League encounter against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

‘I think it was a tough match for both teams,’ Ranieri said after their defeat to Burnley.

‘I am happy with our performance, our character. We showed a good performance but the result is not with us and we have to work more, believe and fight more.

‘Of course, how we can lose we can win. We need to make two or three good matches with points and then we are getting better.’

Leicester City will now welcome Manchester United to the King Power Stadium when they go head-to-head in the Premier League on Sunday.

Kick-off has been set for 18:00.
