With six of Leicester City’s nine remaining Barclays Premier League fixtures coming at King Power Stadium, defender Ritchie De Laet says the Foxes’ home form will be pivotal to their survival bid.

A victory over West Ham United on Saturday could see Nigel Pearson’s men move off the foot of the table for the first time since November.
And for De Laet, the support of the Blue Army could play a huge role in securing a first win in nine games in all competitions when the Hammers come to Leicester.
“I expect us to come out with at a high tempo because we need to win,” the Belgian told LCFC.com. “We need to change our home form as well, so we need to get three points.
“Our home form is going to be enormous for us. We have to get something out of all of those remaining games at King Power Stadium. We’ll aim to get some points on the road as well, so we’ll see where it takes us.
“I’ve said it plenty of times this season – the fans have been great for us. They’ve stuck by us and in the six home games we have left, they’re going to be important. I’m sure they’ll be out in numbers again to support us.
“We’re looking forward to it. We have to just concentrate on this game and get the three points.”
