Every game is not easy in the Premier League. I am expecting a very, very difficult game because they’ve got the confidence now. The first win would be a massive win because we’re hungry for it.

365Daily – Super Eagle and Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has said today’s game against Manchester United is crucial as a win will help the team gain confidence after a poor start this season.
Leicester City have not lost any of their last five matches against Manchester United, recording three wins in the encounters.
Manchester United are currently placed 12th on the table while Leicester are at the bottom.
The Foxes will be meeting the Red Devils at the King Power Stadium with hope of their first win in the 2022/23 season.
They have just a point from their past four matches.
Ndidi said he is optimistic of a positive outing in a post on Leicester City’s website, saying: “We have to look forward to it; we have to get something out of it and we have to believe in ourselves.
“Every game is not easy in the Premier League. I am expecting a very, very difficult game because they’ve got the confidence now. The first win would be a massive win because we’re hungry for it.
“That would give us more confidence going forward. We know what we have to do though and if we could that would be very good for us. The fans will be there to cheer us and will be there to see us give our all. When it comes to supporting us, I think the fans are brilliant.
“I am hoping for a very positive atmosphere and that would help us for sure.”
Speaking on the injury that stopped him from playing in 17 matches last season, he said: “It was a difficult time; I just tried to keep my head down, be positive and work myself back into playing – and here we are. I’m really, really happy and it’s just me appreciating time and appreciating the game.
“Of course, they are frustrating times because I really wanted to be on the pitch. But I tried to just focus on my rehab and recovery. That (the facilities) really helped a lot. Having to have different equipment for different injuries was really, really good.
“It also helps with the mindset because knowing the fact that when you come in you have all the facilities and all the equipment to be able to do what you actually want to do, I think that speeds up the recovery which is really good.”
