Huth wants to build on clean sheet with first win

The defensive stability offered by Robert Huth saw Leicester City secure their first clean sheet of the season on Saturday and now the centre-back wants the Foxes’ first win.

Huth was suspended for the Champions’ opening game against Hull City, which they lost 2-1, but helped his side get off the mark with a 0-0 draw against Arsenal at the KP Stadium.

Now the 32-year-old German is looking to build on their improved performance and is targeting their first three points of the season when they host Swansea this weekend.

“You could see that if one of us didn’t track a player, there was another to cover them and that’s what we’re all about,” he said.

“It gives us a good platform for Swansea. It sets us up well for next week.

“It felt like months and months ago since I last played, but I’m glad I came through and I thought we did okay.

“I think everyone came away feeling good about the performance. Hopefully we’ll have a good week’s training and hopefully pick up our first win.”
