Frank Fielding: No extra pressure against Leicester City

Fielding: No extra pressure

Derby County keeper Frank Fielding has dismissed the suggestion that cameras could be a distraction ahead of tonight's televised game against Leicester City.

Fielding, who has become a regular fixture for the Rams this season, insists that added media coverage does not result in added pressure. Instead, he says that it's something all teams are used to.

"I think it is just part and parcel of being a professional footballer," he told the club's official website. "There is more of an increased profile now.

"It is great for my friends and family back home as they get to see me.

"You have just got to enjoy nights like Thursday, especially at home. But there is no extra pressure, because as a player it is just something you get used to."

The Rams could leapfrog Leicester in the league table with a win at Pride Park tonight.
