Leicester boss Enzo Maresca admitted he and his players were ‘upset’ after their 1-0 defeat at Plymouth Argyle made it back-to-back defeats for the Foxes.The long-time league leaders saw Ipswich Town take over at the top of the table by a point following their 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, but Leeds United couldn’t take advantage as they lost 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road.It means Daniel Farke’s men stay a point behind Leicester, who crucially have a game in hand, as the battle for a top-two place took another unexpected twist. Maresca was honest in his assessment of his side’s situation, but knows their destiny is in their own hands.It has been a tough week with two defeats in a row that we did not expect so we are upset,” he said. “The only good thing is that fortunately, it is still in our hands.We need to take our chances and start to win games. We have four games to go, three of them at home, with our fans behind us, so hopefully we can finish well. At the end – and I have said it many times – the problem is when you don’t create chances. That is when you have to be worried and find a different solution.”At this moment we are struggling to score. We created chances inside the six-yard box, from outside the box and we struggle. But there are moments over the season where we need to win the game and it doesn’t matter which way we need to win the game.”But as I said, the positive thing is it’s still in our hands in the last four games. Now we cannot lose any more chances we have to try and win those (four) games.”At this moment we need all our players. For sure, when you don’t win games there is always a why? I don’t see a big difference between tonight’s game and when we started the season.”When we lose you are always looking for the reason. The team are still competing and are still creating chances. I don’t know if we need all the four games to win the league but we will still go out to win those four games. With one chance they (Plymouth) were clinical and we had more chances and were not clinical.”Leicester host West Bromwich Albion at the King Power Stadium next Saturday lunchtime, with Leeds travelling to Middlesbrough on Monday, April 22. Ipswich are not back in action until they face Hull City on Saturday, April 27 due to their scheduled game with Coventry City being postponed with the Sky Blues in the FA Cup semi-final.
