Andy King: 'Winning at Anfield would be a real statement'

Leicester City midfielder Andy King has called on his teammates to make a "real statement" by beating Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Foxes, who stunned the football world by claiming the league title last campaign, have won just one of their opening three games this term, but King remains confident that his side can get on the move after an arguably indifferent start.

"After last season it was always going to be hard. After a few games, whatever we did, people were going to compare to last season and say it's a slow start," said the 27-year-old, according to Goal.com.

"But now we have our first win, we can hopefully get up and running. Winning at Anfield would be a real statement."

Leicester have won, lost and drawn in their three games of the new season and hold ninth position in the table.
