King calls for 'statement victory' over Liverpool

The Premier League champion has won just one of its opening three matches of the season, but the Wales international remains confident.

Leicester City midfielder Andy King has challenged his teammates to make a "real statement" with a win over Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.

Claudio Ranieri's men have collected four points from their opening three games to sit ninth in the table as the team looks to defend the Premier League title.

With a new main stand completed at Anfield, a party-like atmosphere is expected for Liverpool's first home game of the season, but King is keen for Leicester to ruin that and show the rest of the league what the side is capable of.
