Fuchs says Leicester not worried by Spurs title challenge
Leicester City full-back Christian Fuchs insists the Foxes are not worried by the challenge of Tottenham as the Premier League title race enters its closing weeks.
Claudio Ranieri's men saw their seven-point lead at the top of the table cut to five points on Monday when Spurs won 4-0 at Stoke City after Leicester had been held to a 2-2 draw at home by West Ham on Sunday.
Leading goalscorer Jamie Vardy is suspended for Sunday's clash with Swansea City after being sent off against the Hammers, but Fuchs has shrugged off suggestions Leicester are feeling the pressure.
The 30-year-old Austrian told The Sun: "The fact that Tottenham have cut our lead to five points does not make us nervous at all.
"We are in a position no one had expected. If someone had promised us a five-point lead over Spurs with four games left before the season begun, we'd have signed for it straight away.
"OK, we have dropped two points but we have never claimed that we were going to win the title.
"But, of course, we will now look to win as many of our final four matches as possible so we can get the best possible outcome for Leicester.
"If Jamie Vardy is out, Leonardo Ulloa will be a good replacement. His size alone gives him a certain presence in attack.
"It's now a chance for whoever comes in to start games and show what they can do. They can say, 'Hey, I'm here too and you can count on me'.
"Everyone in our squad supports everyone else. We all know that we will get our chances to play and that we are important.
"A hallmark of Leicester this season is that we take things as they come and we make the best of the cards we have been dealt."
