Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has heaped praise on experienced centre-back Robert Huth and believes his arrival has played a huge part in the Foxes' relegation battle.

The towering German arrived on loan from Stoke City in January and has been a dominating force in Leicester's defence since his arrival.

"He is a commanding presence," said Morgan of Huth. "He has Premier League experience and that has showed.

"He has contributed magnificently to the clean sheets we have been getting of late.

"He has definitely been a plus for us and hopefully he can continue to be so."

With Huth playing a key role, Leicester have kept three clean sheets in their last four games which has helped them climb out of the bottom three with five wins in their past six outings.
