Leicester boss Nigel Pearson has called for realism in their survival quest and insisted that their remaining fixtures will make it extremely tough to avoid relegation. They will escape the drop zone for the first time since November if they beat Swansea at home on Saturday by three goals and Burnley fail to win at Everton. They also have to face relegation rivals Sunderland and Burnley away while welcoming QPR to the King Power Stadium on the final day of the season. Back-to-back wins revived Leicester’s hopes of top-flight survival but Pearson wants to keep a lid on expectations. He said: ‘We believe in ourselves but we have seven left, five at home and one against Chelsea. They are still extremely tough fixtures. Leicester boss Nigel Pearson is not taking anything for granted in the chase for survival . Wes Morgan trains with team-mates ahead of Leicester's game against Swansea at the weekend . ‘We are aware we have had some bad luck from time to time. It’s that belief in ourselves that has kept us going.’ Burnley, meanwhile, have collected eight points from a testing run of eight games but now have to start turning some gritty displays into more positive results. Having won only once since January, it could be the wrong time to be running into an Everton side that are unbeaten in four at Goodison Park but manager Sean Dyche is not looking at form. He said: ‘You can’t govern other people’s situation. We have to focus on ourselves whether it’s good or not good. When the whistle blows, we have a plan and are more looking at how we are going to operate. Jamie Vardy celebrates scoring against West Brom as the Foxes record back-to-back wins . ‘We’ve done a lot of work after being written off. We’re certainly in the pack. Performance-wise I’ve been pleased but we have to win games.’ Everton manager Roberto Martinez sees a fearlessness in Burnley similar to that displayed by his Wigan team in surviving against the odds in the Premier League. The Clarets head to Goodison Park having beaten Manchester City, drawn against Tottenham and narrowly defeated by Arsenal in the last month. Argentinian ace Esteban Cambiasso is one of several players whose contracts expire at the end of the season . They are two points from safety but Martinez believes the fact they have been scrapping to get out of the bottom three all season — much like his Wigan side in the four seasons he spent with them — gives them an advantage over teams who have been dragged into the race for survival. Martinez said: ‘When you are in a situation as clear as the one they have, they are only one step from getting away from the bottom three and that is an incredible incentive.’ Martinez believes Dyche will help Burnley survive. ‘Sean has been an incredible leader and has set very good direction for his team,’ he added. ‘When you get into a new league you sometimes don’t get positive results after a successful season in the Championship and you start having doubts and wanting to change week after week.’
