Ulloa knows Foxes are being targeted at home

Leicester City may be unbeaten in their last 19 Premier League games at the King Power Stadium, but striker Leonardo Ulloa knows maintaining such a run is only going to get more difficult.

The Foxes’ 0-0 draw with Southampton, on Sunday, saw them pick up their eighth point of the new Premier League season – all of them coming at home – and they sit 12th in the league.

By contrast, on the road Leicester have suffered humbling 4-1 defeats at Anfield and Old Trafford, and an opening day loss to Hull City.

Leicester were unable to break down the Southampton defence, who have now kept a clean sheet in each of their last six games, while Charlie Austin came closest to breaking the deadlock for the visitors.

Ulloa has expressed how important the vocal support at the King Power Stadium has been for the Premier League champions, who have a real target on their backs this season.

He said: “I think every (home) game is so difficult, we need the support of the fans. Every team they want to beat us because we are the champions.

“We know that it will be more difficult than last year, but we need to keep going, we need to work hard. Every game will be difficult but we will improve in training and in every game.”
