Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson insists both themselves and Burnley can stay up.

Pearson does not see today's clash as a straight survival shoot-out, insisting BOTH promoted sides can stay up.

"I do (think that)," he added. "If you're talking about whether it is a realistic outcome I think both sides are capable.

"We have given ourselves a fighting chance and that's important. At this stage three weeks ago it was looking increasingly more difficult.

"It doesn't matter whether I am surprised we are in the bottom three or not.

"Without being too blunt about it, is you have to try to deal with the situation we are in and not bemoan bad luck or unfortunate decisions.

"Whatever we or I feel about it at the moment is not a priority."
