(Reuters) - Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri backed his team of "warriors" to arrest their poor run of form and avoid relegation from the Premier League despite winning just twice in their last 15 top-flight games.
Following their stunning title triumph last season, Leicester have continued to produce the unexpected this season, this time by tumbling down the table. They are battling relegation as they sit 16th place, a point above the bottom three after 24 games.
