Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson insists that his players are "mentally" ready to switch their focus to their FA Cup match against Tottenham on Saturday.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has insisted that his players are "mentally" ready ahead of Saturday's fourth-round FA Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Foxes are fixed in a relegation battle in the Premier League as they reside at the bottom of the table, but Pearson is not ruling out a positive FA Cup campaign.

"It will be nice to progress in the Cup," Pearson told the club's official website. "Winning games for us at the moment in whatever competition is beneficial. The players are capable of playing with the games programme that we've got. I don't see it being a massive ask.

"As always, we discuss what we think the right changes are to make, if we do make changes. We know the players are very good condition physically, and a pretty good place mentally as well."

Leicester have won just four out of 22 games in the league so far.
