Andy King: Teams are now beginning to fear Leicester City at King Power
Visiting teams will fear coming to the King Power Stadium to face league leaders Leicester City, midfielder Andy King has warned.
City boast one of just two 100 per cent home records in the Championship this season – the other is Cardiff – having won their opening six games.
King said City were full of confidence of adding to their tally against Crystal Palace tomorrow.
"I think teams come maybe with that mentality where they are a little bit scared to come to this ground now," said King, who scored the winner for City in their 1-0 victory against Brighton on Tuesday night.

"That is especially the case when there are 25,000 fans getting behind us, like they did on Tuesday night, which was outstanding.
"I think teams will start to fear us on home soil.
"We are set up with a good game-plan and everyone is working really hard for each other, and the drive from everyone in the squad is there. We really want to be successful as a group and that is showing."
Although Palace are unbeaten in their last nine games, they have been rocked this week by the departure of manager Dougie Freedman, who has taken over at Bolton. But King warned that might make the Eagles even more dangerous.
"They have lost their manager and that can go one of two ways," he said.
"That can either affect them, or they can be out to prove a point to an incoming manager, whoever that will be, and he could be sat in the stands.
"They are going to be keen not to let their good start go to waste because they have lost their manager.
"I think for one or two games it is okay (not having a manager). The people who come in and take charge know their business and how they play so it won't make much difference.
"The longer it goes on, it gets a little more uncertain and you don't know what is going on.
"But we have to concentrate on our own game-plan.
"We have momentum now and have had for the last five or six games, but they have been on a good run themselves so it will be a good game."

“Well now you have your answer Mr King. There is a simple lesson to be learnt here keep your mouth shut and let your feet do the talking. It is no coincidence that in recent weeks we have had none of these silly quotes in the Mercury and we have had an excellent run of results.
Yesterday was a reallity check the two quick goals seemed to stun the team and once you have assumed a win will come as a right you have a job to lift yourselves. I thought Pearons summing up was spot on and too many recent on form players seemed off their game. Danny Drinkwater was certainly not himself and I wondered whether Vardys mystery illness had spread to other members of the team. The oppostion had done their homework on our French prodigy
and it miht be time for himt o be brought on as an impact player with Marshall being played from the start.
One game should not stop us getting back to the excellent form we were having and I have faith we will be there or abouts for an automatic spot come May.”

“WHy doesn't ANdy shut up for a few months.
He and some of you posters talk as if it is all over and Palace did not look scared yesterday did they ?
We will know by Easter if we are good enough not by November.”

“Yes Indeed our strikers must have their shooting boots on tomorrow. I am picking they will not be many chances and as we all know the City shooters must capitalize on them. I hope Knocky weaves a bit of that magic of his. City 2-0 for mine. I hope Kingy gets another one and Nuge to set up Vardy for the other. Kasper will be kept busy no doubt. But he has shown us in the past, that he is quite capable of doing so.”

“Nine games unbeaten, Palace are not going to roll over. Tomorrow there'll be no excuse for missed chances. It's time for our wayward strikers to strike.”

“Two key things to promotion: Make home a fortress, and win or draw no matter what, even if you dont play very well. We are doing that.”

“Yes, it should be a good game, but from what I have seen of Palace, we are too good for them.
Another home win please City.”
