Jeff Schlupp: Leicester have momentum on their side

Ghana defender Jeff Schlupp has revealed the bond his Leicester team-mates formed with one another while they were bottom of the league has been secret to their revival.

Leicester spent almost five months at the bottom of the Premier League and seemed destined to return to the Championship prior to last month’s run of five wins in six matches, which lifted them out of the relegation zone.

They extended that run to six from seven games with Saturday’s 2-0 win at home to Southampton and Schlupp admits Leicester are a side that playing with confidence.

“Being at the bottom for so long, it just brought everyone together really,” Schlupp told Sky Sports News HQ.

“We knew what was at stake and we really wanted to stay in the Premier League as everyone does. We knew that we really had to get the results to give ourselves a chance and I think we have done that really well.

“We’ve got great momentum now. I think that’s six wins out of seven at a crucial time so the boys are buzzing.”
