Iheanacho: We'll Be Ready For The Fight
- Leicester City face Leeds United in Monday night's Premier League fixture at Elland Road (8pm kick-off)
- The two sides are meeting in the top flight for the first time in 16 years
- Kelechi Iheanacho believes the Foxes will come up against a tough opponent, given Leeds' start to the season
- He is confident that Leicester can continue to pick up points on the road, especially with an extra days' rest from their UEFA Europa League exploits
City will meet Leeds for the first time since a Carabao Cup last 16 tie in October 2017, when Iheanacho was on the scoresheet in a 3-1 home win.
Both sides are now riding high near the top of the early Premier League standings, with Iheanacho looking forward to the opportunity of facing the Whites again.
He believes Leeds' early season form indicates that the Foxes will be presented with a tough task to overcome them at Elland Road on Monday evening (8pm kick-off).
"It will be a great opportunity to play them once again," the 24-year-old told LCFC TV.
"I've played against them before. It was my first Leicester City goal, so hopefully if I get a chance then I will be able to do the same, it will be a great occasion.
"They are back stronger now and they've been doing well and having a good run in the Premier League. I think it will be a good test for us and hopefully we can get the points that we need."
Iheanacho has been impressed with how Monday night's opponents have taken to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa.
He is expecting the Yorkshire outfit to come into the game full of confidence after a 3-0 away victory over the previously unbeaten Aston Villa last time out, thanks to a hat-trick from Patrick Bamford.
However, he is also confident that City will be fully prepared for the challenge awaiting them.
"I've been watching a little bit of their matches and they've been brilliant since coming into the Premier League," the Nigerian added.
"They've been on a good run and they are quite strong as well so I think we just need to keep doing what we are doing.
"We've been doing well ourselves and we've had a good away record so we just need to keep that and the good run and keep a clean sheet."
