Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez confident the Premier League champions can avoid relegation

Riyad Mahrez is adamant Leicester will stay up if the team 'do things properly' and wants to secure safety with five games to spare.

Claudio Ranieri's side have a crucial match at Swansea City on Sunday and defeat could take them into the relegation zone after four consecutive Premier League losses, but Mahrez believes Leicester possess enough quality to pull clear.

The Algerian has struggled for form this season, scoring just three goals – all penalties – and providing two assists. He was named PFA Player of the Year last season having netted 17 goals and created 11 more.
