Leicester City are capable of avoiding relegation back to the Championship this season, says coach Kevin Phillips.

Leicester City coach Kevin Phillips has insisted that his side can earn enough points and avoid relegation this season.

The Foxes have struggled on their return to the top flight and a run of just two wins in 25 games left them firmly at the bottom of the table.

However, back-to-back victories over West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion have brought Leicester back into the fight, and they are now just three points behind 17th-placed Hull City and face three of the teams around them in the final seven games.

Phillips told Sky Sports News: "It's been suggested that we have a better run-in than a lot of the teams around us but that's just on paper. In reality, I know from my own experience that playing against teams who are struggling at this stage of the season can be incredibly difficult because they're scrapping to stay up, while teams which appear to have little to play for are dangerous, too.

"However, we know our survival hopes boil down to the mini-season we've got left between now and the end of the campaign. And if we get enough points from these fixtures we can give ourselves a great chance of staying up.

"There are clearly opportunities coming up for us to get some more points on the board and, with Sunderland and QPR as our final two games, we'd love to be in with a chance of survival going into those matches.

Leicester host Swansea City on Saturday.
