Leicester City's Nigel Pearson: 'There's plenty of hard work left to do'

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson insists that there is still plenty of "hard work" left to do as the team try to stay out of the relegation zone.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has insisted that his team cannot afford to switch off in their last three Premier League games.

The Foxes have boosted their hopes of survival after winning five of their last six fixtures, and they now reside one point above the relegation zone.

This is in stark contrast to a few months ago when they were rooted to the bottom of the standings, but Pearson has warned his players that the job is not done yet.

"I'm very pleased with how we've played, but there's a lot of hard work left - it's not done, not at all," Pearson said in this afternoon's press conference. "Of course it helps when things go your way elsewhere, but you can't bank on that. We can't leave the field with regrets."

Leicester will take on Southampton at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
