Saturday 21 February 2015 13:30, UK
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson believes striker Andrej Kramaric could be the key to the Foxes’ survival in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old Croatia international arrived at the King Power Stadium from Rijeka in January and has scored two goals in the last two matches – the 2-1 defeats at Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Pearson, speaking ahead of Sunday’s trip to Everton, said: "Those goals will help his confidence.
"When you look at the two games in which he has scored he has had to work very hard for the side, and the chances he has taken have not been straightforward.
"But that's why I brought him in - to score goals - but of course he brings more than just that because he is an intelligent footballer.
