SOUNDBITE: (English) Nigel Pearson, Leicester manager

"Whatever happens here on in we know ourselves that we are capable of performing and getting results and I suppose the other thing that has been important since the new year or since christmas is that when we don't play well we still have a chance to get something out of the game and that is, you just have to reflect on that, and know that the players are capable of getting results and I know on paper what a tough run we have got but as i pointed out, and as i pointed out before, these are the sort of games we are looking forward to for a long time so i don't see any point of not look forward to them with a positive sort of outlook, so that doesn't make it easier or that is going to be easy, but there we are that's how it is."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Nigel Pearson, Leicester manager

"Well they have had a very good run of results and they have played many different formations, it's never easy for a manager in his first year to get things exactly as you want it, but they have a lot of good players, it's always a tough place to go to but as i've said before, but our players are looking forward to it and we need to look forward to it, big games, big stadium, big team we are playing against, and its important we go there and do what we can."
