Latest Leicester City news as Mark Robins talks ahead of the game against Coventry City in the M69 derby

According to Coventry City manager Mark Robins, championship leaders Leicester City are “on loan from the Premier League”.

Both teams are riding strong league winning streaks when they square off in the M69 derby on Saturday lunchtime at the CBS Arena. Prior to the game, Robins stated that Leicester’s team is so strong that they are essentially “on loan” from the top division for the entire season.

“They are a top team,” Robins said. “Somebody said to me the other day that they are on loan from the Premier League, and they are probably right.

“They have quality players, and they are finding results week in week out and they play in a good style with speed, nous and they’re clever with experience and they score goals.”

“They have a team and a squad full of quality players and their results have shown that and performances have shown that and the wealth of talent they have is strong.”They’ve only conceded 18 goals in the league so far, so we know how difficult his game is going to be there’s no two ways about it.

He continued, “We will need a top performance tomorrow and we will need to score more than once, because it will be no easy feat, but it’s a game we’re really looking forward to. That’s how my team will approach the game.”

“We want to go and play in our way and the way we can do and impose ourselves when and where we can, but we’re under no illusions they’re a really good side.”
