Leicester City first-team coach Kevin Phillips hopes that the players will keep their season alive until the final two games of the season.
The Foxes, who are bottom of the Premier League, are six points adrift of safety with eight matches left to play.
Phillips hopes that his players will pick up enough points between now and the final two games of the campaign, against fellow strugglers Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers, to keep their fate in their own hands.
"Let's hope we've given ourselves a fighting chance when we come to those last two fixtures," he told talkSPORT.
"If we can get there with a fighting chance it will be a good achievement. And who would have given us that chance when we were sitting bottom at Christmas?"
Leicester beat West Ham United 2-1 on Saturday thanks to a late goal from Andy King.
