Claudio Ranieri has told his Leicester players to channel the spirit of their 'Great Escape' season after admitting his side are in a fight against relegation.
The Italian wants a switch in mentality by his team, from thinking as champions to understanding they must now scrap for every point.
Drawing at home to Middlesbrough, salvaged by a last-gasp Islam Slimani penalty, led to Leicester making the worst start to a title defence in Premier League history with just 13 points from 13 games.



The result also kept them only two points above the drop zone and Ranieri said his players must now reprise the fight shown in the 2014-15 season, when Leicester were bottom for three months before staging a late rally to finish 14th.
