WE’LL MAKE REDS PAY THE PENALTY

- BY JAMES NURSEY

CHRISTIAN FUCHS insists Leicester are ready to beat Manchester United after giving Manchester City a big scare in the League Cup.

The Foxes’ display in the penalty shootout defeat was much improved on their previous 3-0 league loss to Crystal Palace.

Claude Puel (right) and his men host the Reds on Saturday in the Premier League and defender Fuchs (above) said: “A penalty shootout is never really a fair game, it’s just very unlucky. We tried and it didn’t work out. “But it gives us a good feeling with the way we played. We didn’t win but kept possession, it felt good and gives us confidence back. “We’re happy with the performanc­e. We can be proud and go into the United game with a good feeling.”
