Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton is adamant that his side need to start turning good performances into points in their fight against the drop.

The Foxes have gone nine games without a win in the Premier League as they prepare to face Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday, and Albrighton feels that it is a massive match for both sides in the context of their campaigns.

He told the club's official website: "It's going to be a good contest. Both teams are down there struggling so it's a game that we're going with confidence into and we're looking to win the game. If there's any game where we can stop our rot, it's this one. We're quite capable of going there and upsetting them.

"We had a dip not so long ago where performances were down, and although we haven't found the cutting edge to win a game yet I think performances have been improving.

"I think against Liverpool the other night we did play well in patches, but obviously we need to turn the performances into wins, and we need to start this weekend."

Leicester are bottom of the Premier League going into the match against Paul Lambert's men.
