Marc Albrighton believes Manchester City are the perfect opponents for Leicester on Tuesday, as the Foxes attempt to bounce back from only their second league defeat of the season.
Premier League leaders Leicester suffered their first defeat for three months on Boxing Day when Christian Benteke netted the only goal of the game for Liverpool at Anfield.
But Albrighton is delighted to be facing Manchester City on Tuesday, claiming a game against Manuel Pellegrini's side provides his team with the ideal platform to recover from their Boxing Day defeat.
"No-one likes losing, we showed that from the end of last season and we will fight to the end," Albrighton said.
"We always believe we can win every game and that's not going to change because we got beaten. The manager said to us to keep going and we have a great team and squad.
"City are a great team, the players they have got are world class but there's nothing better than to come up against some of their players at home after a defeat. We'll react in the right way.
"I know the kind of players we have in our dressing room. I'm pretty sure the fans will see us from the whistle on Tuesday getting straight into them."
Despite Leicester's defeat by Liverpool, the Foxes remained top of the table, but Albrighton is not expecting his players to suffer from pressure during the remainder of the campaign.
"To be honest, I don't think we will play another game this season with pressure," Albrighton added.
"We've got ourselves in a brilliant situation and we are doing fantastic. Everyone was tipping us to be down there at the start of the season, but we're right in the mix and we deserve to be where we are.
"There will probably be a lot of pundits and media that might think now we are going to lie down and relax with our 30-something points.
"We're not a side to do that. We've got Manchester City on Tuesday and we look forward to bouncing back against them."
