'I don't want to think about relegation'

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez says he does not "want to think" about relegation after the champions lost a sixth top-flight game this season.

The Foxes were beaten 2-1 at Watford on Saturday and are in 14th place in the Premier League - two points above the bottom three.

"Nothing is wrong. We need to keep working hard like we do and I am sure we will get the wins," said Mahrez.

"I know we have good quality to stay in the Premier League and maybe more."

In contrast to their league form, Leicester are on the verge of qualifying for the last 16 knockout stages of the Champions League, in their debut season in the competition.
