Fuchs wants home crowd to help revive Foxes

Christian Fuchs is expecting the vocal support at the King Power Stadium to help Leicester City bounce back from their opening day defeat when they face Arsenal on Saturday.

The Foxes lost 2-1 to newly-promoted Hull at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday lunchtime to become the first top-flight champions to lose their opening fixture of the following season since Arsenal in 1989/90.

And it’s the Gunners, one of only two teams to beat Leicester in the Premier League last season, who will travel up the M1 to face the champions this weekend.

“We move on, and the next game is Arsenal now. Everybody is disappointed after a game like that,” said the Leicester left-back.

“Obviously you want to win your season opener but now we’re playing at King Power Stadium in front of our amazing fans and we’re looking forward to it.”

Despite heading into last weekend’s game as favourites, Hull made things very difficult for Leicester and many felt they fully deserved their win.

And Fuchs believes the Foxes need to be more clinical with the chances they create.

“Hull City played the way that a Premier League team plays,” said Fuchs. “They played with passion, enthusiasm, had a very solid shape and it was very hard to play through.

“Still I think first half we had a couple of good chances and if we’d have scored I think there would have been a different outcome.

“They gave everything though and scored twice. Both goals were a little bit unfortunate because they were deflected shots or had too much space.”
