Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has called Saturday’s clash with West Ham one his side “have to win” The Foxes are just three points and two places above the Premier League relegation zone after only one victory in nine games as they prepare to host the Hammers on Saturday.
Ranieri told reporters during his pre match press conference: “Yes, we have to turn to 20 points, we have 17. We have to win, we have to win, we have to win, We are not happy, nobody is happy – the chairman, me, the sporting director, staff, players. We have to react as soon as possible. We have to show all these good things on the pitch.”
“The match against Everton was very even and they scored twice. It’s unbelievable but that’s football, we have to react, concentrate 100 per cent and fight. When we concentrate we can show a very fantastic performance.”
Ranieri also confirmed Mahrez will start on Saturday after he came on as a second-half substitute against Everton.
Mahrez, Fuchs, Drinkwater and Huth all return so it will be a tough match, possibly a very physical one we owe them for their lucky result last year COYI !!!
