Amartey eyeing Burnley scalp

Leicester City utility man Daniel Amartey wants his side to build upon Wednesday’s Uefa Champions League victory over Club Brugge when they host Burnley on Saturday.

The Foxes are set to take on the Clarets in the Premier League at King Power Stadium following the landmark 3-0 away win in midweek in what was the club’s first ever game in the elite European competition.

Amartey, who lasted the entire duration game, is looking forward to another round of action on the domestic front.

“We went there [Brugge] to win and we went in with a strong mentality,” Amartey told LCFC TV HD.

“We have to keep the same mentality and same focus for the Burnley game.

“Last time at home, we played well and gave a good performance. We can’t always get everything perfect. You get good and bad days but we have to respond always.

“We have to keep working and when challenges come, you have to be strong.

“Now it’s a lot of games. For me, that’s nice. What will help me a lot is rest. I have to rest after training and after games.

“We play Wednesday, Saturday and Tuesday, so I will be making sure I get lots of rest.”

The Premier League defending champions currently sit 16th on the log after four rounds of matches, a place above Burnley, though both teams have same number of points.
