Ahead of the upcoming match, both Leicester, now managed by Steve Cooper, and the Saints are set to clash under intriguing circumstances. Leicester, fresh from their first win of the season, will face a Saints team eager for their first victory. Previewing the game on Thursday, Russell Martin provided insights into how he views the upcoming challenge against Leicester. He acknowledged the difficulty of the match but emphasized the importance of focus on his own team.
Russell Martin said, “I think it’ll be two well-coached teams in different styles, but, honestly, the focus has been on us. We have an awareness of what they can do because they’ve put in a really good performance away at Arsenal. Bournemouth at home, they were very good. I think people keep asking me how big the game is. Is it a six-pointer and all that? Every game in the Premier League is huge. They were the best team in the league and that proved. Over the course of the season, they were outstanding. They still have some really brilliant attributes that Steve’s obviously put into his team and allowed them to maintain. The previous results will dictate how other people feel about it externally and the result and all the noise around it. Every game is huge and the guys know that. I watched him a lot for Brighton over the last year or so before he got injured. We are aware of their threats.”
