Wout Faes encourages the squad to remain confident

Leicester head home for a double matchweek on Filbert Way, first of all when they welcome West Ham to the East Midlands in what will be Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in charge of the Foxes.

Hoping to right the wrongs from their defeat to Brentford last time out, the Belgium defender understands the enormity of each task faced in the top division.

"We've only kept one clean sheet and that's not enough, so I hope we can improve and get more because that will help the team," Faes told the media.

Faes encourages the squad to keep working hard.

"I don't think we have to panic or are in trouble already, but we know how difficult the league is. A series of winning a few games in a row will be our focus to turn things around.

"It's the highest league in the world. Every team can beat each other and every player has quality so it's not for nothing, the Premier League."

Speaking on Tuesday's opponents, Faes labelled West Ham as a side that have quality throughout, but find themselves in a similar position to City, wanting to be higher in the standings.

"They had a good game (last time on the road) but they have struggled at times," he continued. "They are a quality side though and like I said, in the Premier League there is no bad team, but West Ham are one of the sides that don't want to be where they are, same as us.

"It was a bittersweet memory the last time we faced West Ham because I scored my first goal but obviously we got relegated. I wish it came at a different moment but it was still a proud moment to score my first goal.

City were beaten by Chelsea last time out on home soil.

"I'd like to score more goals but there's so much work done on set-pieces now. We define areas and it depends on the delivery as well but I'd like to improve and find the goal always."

With 10 points from their first 13 games, a win for van Nistelrooy's Foxes will put them in good stead when Brighton arrive to King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon (2pm kick-off).

With a lot of football to still be played, Faes believes there is enough quality within the team to turn performances around and fuel confidence around the Club.

"We have to remain confident," the Belgium international stated. "If we look at the squad, it has a lot of players that have Premier League experience. We shouldn't be in trouble, but that's how tough it is. We have to focus on the coming games and get some more points."
