“We all agree about what happened at Old Trafford and so it's easy to fix that. We were all disappointed after the game, we know how we need to change, to fix that and for me after nine months here it was one of the easiest weeks.
"We speak a lot. The way we played we are all agreed we were poor, it was not a good performance, and on that we all agree. It's important to realise that to fix problems and try to show next Saturday that it was only a temporary problem or a bad day."
Leicester may be bottom of the table but they won 2-1 at at White Hart Lane in the FA Cup fourth round back in January.
The Foxes, however, have not won in any competition since that late comeback - losing five of their seven fixtures - but Pochettino still expects a stern challenge from a side fighting for their top-flight status
"Leicester in the last few games have played differently from the FA Cup, they have changed the system," he said.
Important game
"It's important to show that we are not affected by the last result. We expect a very tough, important game because we have nine games left and it's important to start to win points.
"It is an important game because we come from a big hit for us at Old Trafford. We need to show that it hasn't damaged us too much and to try to give the best and get the three points."
Defender Ben Davies said: "This is a big game for us and we know we need to try to bounce back after the result last weekend.
"Leicester are fighting for their lives and they will be determined to try and get something out of the game. That result in the FA Cup keeps us on our toes, it's a warning there for us that they have showed us what they can do if we give them the opportunity.
"We have to focus on our game, try to impose ourselves and if we play the way we can, I'm sure we can get the three points."
