NZO Maresca sees no cause for panic when his Leicester side host Norwich on Easter Monday, despite losing to Bristol City.
The Robins put a dent in the Foxes' bid for automatic promotion after Anis Mehmeti's superb 73rd-minute strike proved to be the winner.
The winger found the roof of the net with a stunning left-footed strike from the edge of the box to inflict a fourth defeat in six league games on the stuttering Foxes.
Leicester paid for missed chances, with Jamie Vardy the leading culprit. Twice he was denied by fine Max O'Leary saves when one-onone with the Bristol keeper.
But Leicester boss Maresca declined to join in any sense of panic. He said: "There would be cause for concern if the performances weren't there. But we are creating so much and our recent defeats have all been down to not finishing our chances.
