Redknapp wary of Leicester’s pace and feels Brighton could emerge as challengers

By

QPR boss Harry Redknapp insists Leicester will be formidable opponents on Saturday despite their recent results.

The Foxes, third in the Championship, face the leaders having drawn one and lost two of their last three league matches.

But the reports Redknapp received on those games warned him to expect a tough challenge against Nigel Pearson’s team.

He said: “Leicester are flying. They’re a good side and Nigel Pearson has done a great job. We’ve watched them and they’ve got pace and look a really good outfit.

“They’ve had difficult games; Nottingham Forest and also Brighton, who are a team that when everyone’s fit could challenge. But Leicester will be there.

“We’ve got some tough games coming up. Leicester, Forest and Watford are all interesting fixtures.”
