Home form concerns Puel
Leicester City manager Claude Puel admits that it is a worrying time for the club as the 4-1 home loss to Crystal Palace extended their winless run to seven games.
The Foxes have suffered four consecutive home defeats and are 12th in the table. They were booed from the pitch after Saturday's setback and are 150/1 to be relegated this season and 5/6 to beat Brighton in their next match on Tuesday.
"Of course it is a difficult and worrying time," said former Southampton boss Puel. "Of course we are in difficulty.
"We were in trouble at the end. It is normal for the fans to be worried, I understand this. The players need confidence, they have played well without fair reward in the last few games.
"The important thing is for the players to react in the next game and to have the support. We have to take confidence and support with our fans; it is a young team and we need to keep a positive attitude.
"I manage the pressure; the most important thing is my players. We are a young team and we have shown a lot of quality without a fair result. We have to keep going."
After Michy Batshuayi had given Palace the lead on Saturday, Jonny Evans scored Leicester's equaliser.
However, Roy Hodgson's team clinched a welcome three points thanks to two goals by Wilfried Zaha and a Luka Milivojevic penalty.
