Sam Allardyce urges Sunderland to learn from Leicester's defensive approach

"The more clean sheets they keep between now and the end of the season, the better chance they give themselves to survive because one goal will win them three points."

Sam Allardyce has urged Sunderland to adopt Leicester's approach to a stunning title bid as they attempt to secure their Barclays Premier League status.

Claudio Ranieri's men cemented a seven-point lead at the top of the table on Wearside last Sunday when a fifth successive clean sheet paved the way for a 2-0 victory which left them with one hand on the trophy.
