Leicester vs Aston Villa: What has been said?

Leicester winger Marc Albrighton: “What we’ve achieved in recent years is great, but we want to follow it up and winning this competition is the perfect way to do that.

“You enter these competitions to go all the way, not just to make up the numbers. We have a real shot at it now and a good chance to go down in Leicester history having not just won the Premier League, but the League Cup also.

“Our target is to win the competition, not just get to the final. If we do make it past Aston Villa, then we’ll have to beat one of the Manchester clubs in order to do that.

“Villa will be a tough test; they got a good result against Burnley. They’ve changed their formation a bit, so they’ll be looking to implement that at King Power Stadium.

“It’s going to be difficult for us to break them down, but once we do, I think we’ve got a great chance.”
