Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has faith that the Foxes can turn their form around following their 2-0 defeat against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.

The Foxes suffered their 14th defeat of the season when they were beaten by the Swans through goals by Alfie Mawson and Martin Olsson.

The Italian manager believes his side created a lot of chances at goal in attack but failed to convert their opportunities in the final third.

‘I think we started well with good concentration,’ Ranieri told the Leicester City website.

‘We created two or three counter-attacks but lost our final chance. The first shot they scored. In this period everything is the same. The second chance, they shot and scored again.

‘We continued to believe and created a chance with Islam Slimani and another through Jamie Vardy, but we must be calm. We lost our shape and confidence and we have to stay calm. We have more or less one hour to play. It’s important to be strong. We have to find a solution.’

Ranieri has urged his side to keep fighting and stay grounded as they look to regain the same form they showed during their title-winning season in the 2015-16 campaign.

‘It’s difficult to say it’s mental. When I speak to them (the players) everybody wants to react and do something positive to help each other. I believe in my team. We must continue to fight and sooner or later we will get out of this,’ He added.

‘When I speak with the players and they speak with me, we are always confident we can change the situation. Now, there are two matches. One in the FA Cup and Champions League. Our mind is on the Premier League, not the FA Cup or Champions League.

‘The strength is to have the right balance. Not to be so high when you win and so down when you lose. You can remember what we did last season, but we have to stay with your feet on the ground and react together. They (the players) believe, they want to react and they want to do something better.’

Leicester City will now turn their attention to the FA Cup when they take on Millwall on Saturday.

The match at the Den kicks off at 17:00.
