Puel warns his Leicester players before Burnley clash: Don't underestimate them!

Leicester City have experienced a resurgence since Claude Puel succeeded Craig Shakespeare as manager of the club.

This week Leicester recorded a confidence boosting 2-1 victory over Tottenham through goals from Jamie Vardy and Riyadh Mahrez.

Puel has since warned his players against complacency ahead of their upcoming game against Burnley.

He said: "Be careful about this. If we watch Burnley, the table doesn't lie. I think they are sixth, it is a fantastic season for them. They have confidence and are a strong team.

"They are not just physical, they start with the ball and try to play good football and have had good results away from home. It's a big challenge for us but also for them.

"Southampton also deserved another result (against Manchester City), every game is difficult in the Premier League and the quality on the pitch of Burnley will be a strong challenge for us.
