Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho: We can't underestimate Leicester

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho says they must not underestimate crisis club Leicester City.

Jurgen Klopp's side picked up their first league win of the season against Tottenham on February 11.

And Coutinho says Liverpool need to perform at the same level if they want a win against struggling Leicester.

“Leicester are last season's champions, so they have a lot of quality," he said.

"There are very good players there, so it's sure to be a difficult game.

“Every game in the Premier League is difficult, all teams are well prepared, and so we have to be well prepared.

“It's very important for us [to follow up the victory against Spurs].

"I think that, in our situation, all the coming games will be of equal importance.

“We have to get on the field 100 per cent focused and try to do the same as we did in the game with Tottenham."
