What Daniel Farke has said

Leeds boss Farke has said: "It's important not to lose your cool and be over-motivated for such a game. It has the same value as the other games we play. For the final table it is the same."

"On the other hand it is a special game and it reminds you of when you first started to play football when you want to challenge yourself against the best possible opponent. We want to show that we are capable to play at the same level or even better. We know we face probably the toughest opponent in the league right now but so do Leicester."

What Enzo Maresca has said

“It’s a huge, huge, huge game for them. For us, it’s one more game. I think it’s an important game, and every time we win a game, we move closer to the target. But in case it doesn’t happen, we go for the next game.

“Why for me it’s huge for them but not for us? For us also it’s a huge game, but for them even more because they are nine points behind us. This is the only reason. Now, if it was the other way, and if we are nine points behind, yes, it’s the game we have to win. But I don’t have this feeling. For sure, we go there, like always, to try to win the game, but it’s three points, no more than that."

He added: “The reason why they didn’t drop points at home, I don’t know. The last time I was there with City, we won, so they can lose at home. They say the atmosphere is very good. That is true. But the fans are not going to win the game. It’s 11 against 11.”
