Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson believes that his team need to make life "difficult" for Crystal Palace when they go head to head at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Foxes are currently rooted to the bottom of the league table, six points below Palace, who reside 13th in the standings.

"Crystal Palace are a decent side," Pearson told the club's official website. "Since Alan has gone in there they have had a very positive return. They have a lot of options and players with Premier League know-how.

"Whichever camp you sit in you will be hopeful your team wins and that puts on more pressure. At our best we are a difficult team to play against. We know they are a very capable side, we need to get our home form right."

Leicester have won just two of their 11 home games in the league this season.
