Leicester City Statement
Enzo Marezca spoke ahead of the match: "It's a good win, it cost us a goal, but to be honest I was never worried. From the first minute we played in their half and created chances. In the second half we started in the same way, the only thing I asked them in the ET was to continue in the same way. The team made a huge effort, in the first 15 minutes we had 3/4 chances in front of the goalkeeper, it was time, we just needed a little bit more. If we kept playing like that we would continue to generate chances and, in the end, win. Many times the decisions were right but we were unlucky. Playing the way we played today (Saturday) we're going to be very good."
"They were incredible. The idea is to always have them behind us because they give us moments to score goals. From the sideline I saw them enjoying how we were playing. We suffered the last 5, but well the rival also plays and tries to win."
"Having won two away games and against two big rivals you can't relax, that's why it was a complicated game. I'm especially happy for the win, personally I think we played an incredible 95 minutes."
"We have the best defense, only 5 goals were scored against us. It's also a consequence of the way we play. We have 60/70% of the possession, you only have to defend the other 30%."
"My pre-match feeling was that if we won it was a very important victory. After Soton and Norwich I think they (the players) showed how professional and serious they are and how they are working.
"They were in a good moment, but we played very well with the ball and completely dominated the game, creating chances, I'm very happy."
"He had a problem in his knee, on Monday he will have some studies and if we are lucky it will be nothing, because if it is, it would be a big loss."
"They [Liverpool] have some new players, but in terms of transition and work off the ball, they have probably been the best team in the world for the last seven years."
"I think the fans were brilliant. From the touchline, I saw them enjoying the way we played."
"I think we are in the right position now. It's a lot of things we need to improve, but at the same time we're very happy with where we are."

Hermansen; Ricardo, Faes, Vestergaard, Doyle, Ndidi, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall, Fatawu, Mavididi, Vardy
