Claudio Ranieri calls for Leicester City response

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri wants his team to respond to the Boxing Day defeat against Liverpool when they return to action against Manchester City on Tuesday.

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has called on his team to bounce back from their defeat to Liverpool last time out when they face Manchester City on Tuesday.

The Foxes remain top of the Premier League after an incredible first half to the season, but they will enter the Man City match off the back of a 1-0 defeat at Anfield on Boxing Day.

Ranieri has conceded that his team "had to lose eventually', but has demanded a response in their next match.

"It is in our mind, we have to recover. It is a question of forgetting this result, of accepting it and moving on. We knew we had to lose eventually, so we must forget. It is how we react mentally now," Ranieri told reporters.

Ranieri could be without his leading scorer Jamie Vardy for Tuesday's match, with the striker currently nursing a fever.
