Leicester City defender Luke Thomas is confident Leicester City can pick up three points against Newcastle United tomorrow (2pm). City host the Magpies at the King Power Stadium after suffering recent defeats to Aston Villa and Napoli in the past week.
Luke Thomas said: “Newcastle are always a difficult team to beat, but we know, if we’re on our best form and if we show our qualities, we know we can beat any team in the league. If we can show that on Sunday, we can get the three points. It’s been a difficult season so far. We’ve not quite got the rub of the green in games. We know we can turn that around so quickly. We’ve still got more than half of the season to go and we know we can get to the places we want to be in at the end of the season. We’ll look to start by doing that on Sunday against Newcastle. That’s what we’re like as a team, bouncing back after a defeat. We’ll look to do that on Sunday and hopefully we’ll come out with the three points.”
Reflecting back on last weekend’s defeat to Aston Villa, Thomas admits conceding an early goal in the second half was their downfall.
Luke Thomas said: “We started the game well. We could have been two or three up at half-time, but going in at 1-1 was a hard one to take for the team. Coming out in the second half and them getting the early goal, we were pushing for the rest of the game. They dropped back and it’s always hard to break a team down when they’ve got that one-goal lead. The fans can be massive. They’re always behind us in each game, so hopefully they’ll be on Sunday and we can show them what we can do and get the three points they’ll want.”
