Leicester finally snapped their seven-match losing run last weekend with a shock 2-1 win at Tottenham, but still find themselves in a serious dogfight at the bottom of the Premier League.
They sit a point above relegation rivals Wolves and Ipswich, and there is a long way to go. The Foxes face Manchester United (twice), Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City in the next two months.
Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy eased the mounting pressure on his job with the win at Spurs but has turned on his players behind the scenes in recent weeks and will be demanding reinforcements to keep Leicester's head above water.
