​Aston Villa defender Mings: Leicester cannot be underestimated

Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has warned his teammates not to underestimate Leicester City.

The Foxes head to Villa Park with one point from their opening six Premier League games.

Speaking to Villa TV, Mings said: "Leicester are going through a tough period as well, so it certainly won't be a formality to turn up there and win a game of football – as it never is in the Premier League.

"For sure, we have to try and continue the momentum that we're trying to build and not pay too much attention to what's going on externally and the noise that's going on around Leicester; they've still got very good players, they've still got a very good manager.

"It seems like a very together club, but obviously as we've known here as well, it's difficult when things aren't going so well. So, it'll be a good challenge, it's important for us to try and continue the momentum but, at the same time, to be wary and respectful of the players they've got."
