Kasper Schmeichel believes there is no cause for concern after Leicester City suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season last week.

The goalkeeper also said everyone in the City camp is relishing a trio of terrific fixtures coming up.

City suffered defeats at Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton, and now face the top two in the Championship – Burnley and QPR.

There is also a visit from Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup in the space of just eight days.

Schmeichel believes City will soon return to winning ways and said the players were feeling positive ahead of the fixtures.

"Some people are getting a bit bogged down with things," said Schmeichel.

"Being a point off top spot is a good position. If anyone had said we would be going into the Christmas period being one point off the leaders, we would have bitten their hand off.

"We are still in a great position and we have some great games coming up that everyone is buzzing for.

"Everyone knows we didn't play well at Brighton and there is no point dressing that up, but we were a little unlucky at Sheffield Wednesday.

"Their keeper made some really good saves and had a really good game. On another day, he doesn't save those and we win.

"We have been finding ways to win this season and that is a good strength of ours.

"We have been grinding out wins and we will get back to that, I am sure."

Manager Nigel Pearson had promised to "liven up" his squad in training and Schmeichel said he had been true to his word.

"He is a good manager for that sort of thing," he added. "When things need to be sharpened up he is good at shaking it up.

"We had a really tough session on Tuesday and everyone worked hard, then we went on the hospital visits trying to put smiles on people's faces and it was a really good day.

"These types of games are what we play football for. We have eight days of great games coming up and everyone is looking forward to it.

"We have put ourselves in a really good position to make these three games big matches. We haven't really done badly except for last week."

Schmeichel added: "We have looked very solid and we have been grinding out wins we may not have picked up last season.

"These two league games are great for us."
