Upson urges Leicester to be 'fearless' in relegation battle

Matthew Upson has backed his Leicester City teammates to show no fear in their fight for survival.

?The Foxes sit at the foot of the Premier League table with 11 fixtures remaining but are going into Saturday's home clash with Hull City with a positive mindset.

?"We have to approach these games in the same way," Upson told the Leicester Mercury, referring to the impressive showing in the eventual 2-0 loss to Manchester City last week.

?"I don't analyse games in a different way, whether it is Hull at home or Manchester City away the preparation has to be the same.

"It is the same attitude and approach.

"We need to be fearless. The moment you let fear creep into your game it has a negative impact.

"We have nothing to lose so let's go out there and give it our best.

"Let's have a real belief about us with the ball and build that confidence game by game to get results."??
