James Justin says it would be "naive" to describe Leicester City's fight against relegation as anything other than "an uphill battle".
Defeat by Chelsea last Sunday was Leicester's 12th loss in 13 Premier League matches and could become the first team to lose seven straight home matches without scoring.
With 10 games to go, the Foxes are six points from safety and contemplating a daunting next set of fixtures.
"It's definitely an uphill battle," Justin told BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast. "If we didn't say that, we'd be naive.
"We have a lot of points to pick up over the next few games, so we have to knuckle down and start picking up points before it's too late."
Despite their precarious position, the 27-year-old is still hopeful of Leicester being in the Premier League next season.
"From what I see day in and day out, the qualities each individual brings to the team, I believe that we can do the job and stay up," he said. "There is no point if you don't have the belief anymore.
"We're just looking at the people in 17th and trying to catch them up before we run out of games."
