Leonardo Ulloa believes that Leicester City must learn to cope with the pressure of being Premier League champions.

Leicester City must learn to cope with the pressure of being Premier League champions, according to Foxes striker Leonardo Ulloa.

After Sunday's goalless draw against Southampton, Claudio Ranieri's charges trail table-topping Manchester City by 10 points.

"It's so difficult, in every game every team wants to beat us because we are the champions," Ulloa told LCFC TV.

"We need to consider that and it's more difficult than the last year. We need to keep going and work. We are improving in training and in every game.

"Some players are going with their national teams now and the others rest but we need to think about the next game."

Leicester play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in their next Premier League fixture on October 15.
