Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri insists the Premier League champions must be prepared for a relegation battle.
Islam Slimani's injury-time penalty rescued a 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough to leave the Foxes with just one win in their last eight league games.
Alvaro Negredo's double twice put Boro ahead and looked to have given the visitors a deserved victory, despite Riyad Mahrez equalising from the spot in the first half, before Marten De Roon fouled Wes Morgan in the box and Slimani scored.
The Foxes, who won a shock title by 10 points last season, are two points above the bottom three and, while Ranieri maintains he is unconcerned, Leicester must be aware of their situation.
