Nigel Pearson believes his Leicester side shouldn’t be underestimated by this weekend’s opponents, Arsenal, as the London club aim to build on their impressive midweek victory of Turkish side Besiktas in the Champions League.

"We know it will be another tough game for us but I expect our players to cause them problems and we have spoken about the best ways that we operate to try and get the three points," he told Sky Sports.

"That's what we will be about every time that we play. Whether we can achieve it against sides like Arsenal remains to be seen, but I would think that having seen our first two games they will know it is a difficult tie for them."

Leicester faced a difficult start to the Premier League this season, with Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal making up their opening three games. After a draw against Everton and a defeat to Chelsea, Pearson will hope to pick up points this weekend.
