Leicester will not underestimate under-fire Chelsea - Morgan

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan is too experienced to take a team like Chelsea for granted.

Ahead of Monday night's clash between the current Premier League leaders and the reigning champions, Foxes defender Morgan is well aware that Jose Mourinho's Blues are slightly out of touch.

But the 31-year-old has been around the block enough times to know that a grope of players with so much talent cannot be kept down for too long as he prepares for a testing challenge.

When asked who the pressure falls on more, Morgan told Foxes Player: "Probably on Chelsea. They're not in the best form at the moment.

"Everyone knows Mourinho is under a lot of pressure and the team should be doing a lot better. But we can't write them off.

"They're a fantastic team and have fantastic players, so at some point we know they're going to come good again and go on a run of winning games.

"The pressure is probably a little bit on them to get the result, because everyone expects them to win every game, but we're full of confidence and we should be looking to get a win."
