Hernandez urges Leicester City to play to their strengths
Defender Luis Hernandez insists Leicester City are not reaching for the panic button yet despite a stuttering start to the title defence.
After taking the Premier League by storm last season to win by ten points, the Foxes have found the going tough this time around, losing three of their opening seven games.
They currently find themselves 12th in the table, with leaders Manchester City ten points clear of them.

Leicester’s next fixture comes against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and Hernandez knows that while the pressure may be on, they need to rise to the occasion and string together some positive results.
“Our strength is the group but on the counter-attack, we are lethal. We know our weapons – remaining strong defensively and then striking the opponent’s area quickly,” said the 27-year-old.
“We just need to link two or three good results in the Premier League to move up the league and grow in confidence. We have not started in the league as we would have liked. We were aware that this year was going to be complicated.
“Everyone wants to win at Leicester, we are the team to beat. Everyone has studied and knows us.
“The big teams have reinforced very well and there are six or seven teams that can win the league. We hope to improve our start.”
