City captain Matt Elliott has insisted that Leicester will avoid dropping back into the First Division.

Speaking after the sacking of manager Peter Taylor Elliott said, "We need a change of results and we need to do that quickly," said the Scotland central defender.

"As it stands at the moment there is not too much of a gap between us and respectability in the table.

"The situation can be turned around as it is still early in the season. It is not over by any means.

"The players know they have to regroup and a couple of wins will get us back up the table.

"I would like to believe the team spirit is still good. The lads get on well together."
