“Knowing we are playing Leicester, they are coming from a win and it will be for sure a demanding game for us.

“Playing at home, we feel really well because we always have unconditional support of our fans. I am sure this game will be no different.

“Of course we know what the value of the game is for us, we are really focused on it. What I feel is, my players are working very well day in day out, every day.

"As I said before, when I arrived nine games ago I could feel they wanted to change the dynamic and wanted to do everything to get results.

"Now, it doesn’t change, of course we are coming from three bad results but the atmosphere and the spirit of the team is the same."
