VICTORY WIL BE EXTRA SPECIAL

LEICESTER City manager Marti Cifuentes says he and his squad know how big three points against Coventry City would be for their supporters today, writes Josh Holland.

- 

City welcome their M69 rivals to the King Power Stadium this lunchtime (12.30pm kickoff), attempting to make it 13 points out of a possible 18.

The visit of the Sky Blues is the Foxes' toughest fixture on paper so far this season after a relatively kind start.

Last time, Leicester came from behind to beat Coventry in Enzo Maresca's first game in charge.

Two late goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall handed the Foxes bragging rights but Coventry got their revenge with a 3-1 win at the CBS Arena.

In his pre-match press conference, Cifuentes, left, was asked about his enjoyment of local derbies and how his players will approach such an occasion.

"Players are human beings and they will feel the atmosphere at the same time as everyone else,” he said.

"The most important thing for us is that we play with personality. We have some things that we want to improve every week and we must definitely improve in the coming weeks."
