Premier League relegation: The battle at the bottom intensifies George Boyd's goal saw Burnley stun Premier League champions Manchester City, Sunderland were humiliated at home by Aston Villa and QPR's dismal away form continued. Saturday was a significant day at the bottom of the Premier League - the bottom six were all in action and the day ended with four teams within three points of the relegation zone. So what did the managers make of it all? Leicester: 'Home form must improve drastically' Result: Leicester City 0-0 Hull City Leicester's Premier League position: 20th (19 points from 28 games) Leicester were 'safe and laboured' Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said: "We've got 10 games left, six at home and we probably need to win five. "We're in the same sort of position as before. Our home form has to be drastically improved to give us the best chance. "I'm not sure we could have played any more of an attacking style, but if players are having a bit of an off day they're having an off day."

All we can do is to keep fighting."

"We know there's a long way to go. The players are grounded. We haven't been broken from defeat - we've been dented a few times - but this win reinforces confidence and belief. "I have said many times that the players are improving. They are growing and learning."

We need to perform and are not doing so. "We have no-one to blame apart from ourselves. It's about being professional, standing up and correct it or it will be danger. "We haven't been in the bottom three all year, but we aren't winning enough and have put ourselves in a difficult situation."

"We have managed to drag Sunderland into it now and push them underneath us, but it's all about next week now, Swansea at home, and getting the points there. "Losing becomes a habit, doesn't it, and winning does also, so we are hoping to continue that, albeit it's only three games."

"But we had two big chances, and in a game of this magnitude, you hope to take one. We could have come away with three points. I can't remember my goalkeeper making a save. "There wasn't a bad challenge in a relegation battle. We had five booked and one sent off."

I think realistically the relegation dogfight has only 4 contenders now. Leicester, Burnley, Sunderland and ourselves. I think we will finish bottom and I fancy Burnley to catch Sunderland. To go down QPR Leicester Sunderland
