Simpson and Leicester united behind Ranieri in fight for survival

Danny Simpson has backed Claudio Ranieri, confident Leicester City can turn things around in the Premier League.

Leicester City full-back Danny Simpson denied reports of player unrest, insisting his team-mates are fighting for manager Claudio Ranieri as the Premier League champions continue to struggle.

The fairytale of sport last year, Leicester have failed to reach those lofty heights again, with Ranieri and Co. languishing just a point above the relegation zone.

Leicester have lost four consecutive Premier League fixtures following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at home to Manchester United, sparking speculation that Ranieri might be beginning to lose the dressing room.
