Ranieri seeks top flight improvement

Leicester City must use their excellent Champions League form as inspiration to climb the Premier League table, says manager Claudio Ranieri.

The Foxes qualified for the knockout stage of Europe's elite club competition with one game to spare by beating Club Brugge 2-1 on Tuesday.

But they have lost six of their opening 12 Premier League matches and are two points above the relegation zone.

"Now our mind must go on the Premier League," said Ranieri.

Leicester went into Tuesday's game needing a point to qualify for the last 16, but secured all three to ensure they will finish top of Group G ahead of 2004 European champions Porto and FC Copenhagen.
