Fans happy as Leicester City star makes promise ahead of Sunderland clash in Black Cats warning

Fatawu made a promise to Leicester’s supporters ahead of this evening’s game.

Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu has promised his side’s supporters that his team will be even more ready for tonight’s game against Sunderland than they were for last weekend’s match at Swansea City, speaking to the Foxes’ media team.

The recently relegated side had the opportunity to recover and recharge their batteries during the international break ahead of last Saturday’s match at the Swansea.com Stadium – and will have richly benefitted from that.

They did fall behind against Michael Duff’s men, but secured a 3-1 victory in South Wales and that extended their lead at the top of the Championship table, with Ipswich Town’s game at Rotherham United being postponed on Friday night.

The Foxes are now in a very strong position – and will be favourites to secure another win this evening against Sunderland – even though Tony Mowbray’s side have started the season reasonably well.

One of their key strengths that has helped them to secure points this season is their depth, with Enzo Maresca’s side managing to utilise the bench to their advantage and even scoring some late winners this season. Their summer business helped them to ensure they had this depth.
