Leicester City winger Jeffrey Schlupp has urged his teammates to take the game to Manchester City in their Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes are currently on a 10-game winless run in the top flight and have dropped to the bottom of the table, but the 21-year-old is adamant that his side have to show fight against City to reignite their season.

Schlupp told the club's official website: "We've got to take the game to them. We can't sit off them, we know they're a good team and what they can do, but they'll be battling for the win too to close the gap on Chelsea.

"We know how hard it's going to be, but we can't stay off them. We respect them, but that doesn't mean we will let them play, so we'll be in their faces, it will be hard work, but hopefully we can get the result."

Nigel Pearson's men face the Citizens in their match later today.
