Ndidi: Concentrate On Our Own Game
- Wilfred Ndidi sat down with LCFC TV ahead of Tuesday's visit of Tottenham Hotspur (7:45pm kick-off)
- The Nigeria international wants the Foxes to focus on themselves in order to seal three points
- Ndidi also expanded on how much he enjoys playing alongside Vicente Iborra in the middle
Spurs travel to King Power Stadium with one victory from their last four Premier League outings, but Ndidi is under no illusions about how tough the challenge will be.
“I have never looked too much at the opposition,” he told LCFC TV, sat in the media suite at the Club’s Belvoir Drive training ground. “We know they are a good team so it will be very difficult.
“That makes it difficult, a team who has just won once in four games will be difficult because they will want to win so we should expect that and do more to get three points.”
With the backing of the Blue Army, however, Ndidi has already seen what City are capable of in front of their own supporters on Filbert Way during his 11 months with the Club.
“Every game at home, the fans are very crucial for us,” he added. “We need three points because it feels like a while since our last win. We can do it if we play well and follow the coach’s instructions.”
The 20-year-old Nigeria international admits City were disappointed not to claim all three points on Friday evening, although he believes there were many positives to draw from the performance.
A 1-1 draw with West Ham United leaves the Foxes in 12th place after 13 matches this season.
He said: “It was really disappointing because we felt we could win. I would say we just look forward to the next game and we will do that now.

"It was nice to see Marc Albrighton score because it proves that we have scorers in all areas of the team which is a plus for us and it will get better gradually too.”
Ndidi has formed a strong working relationship alongside Spanish midfielder Vicente Iborra this term and the former Genk man says it is a partnership that will only continue to blossom.
“He has been good,” Ndidi continued. “He has so much experience and he is calm on the ball. I admire that and he is a leader in the middle so I feel he is what we need.”
