C.Ranieri: we are "foxes", and they are fearless

From fairy tale to reality. In such moods, the title-defending "Leicester City" footballers live in this "Premier" league season.

The "foxes" who have entered a cascade of failures lose one match after another and have already dropped to 16th place in the tournament table.

Only 3 points separate Leicester's team from the relegation zone, but club coach Claudio Ranieri tried to remain optimistic.

"Of course, we are dissatisfied - both the club owner, me, the sports director, and team members, players... We need to come together as quickly as possible and stay united.

These things need to be demonstrated on the field - we want to reach the 20-point mark this year, so we must beat "West Ham". When we are focused, we will show our best game. We are "foxes", and they are fearless," Ranieri said.

"Leicester City" team may still be without suspended forward Jamie Vardy, but midfielder Danny Drinkwater may return to the starting eleven.
