Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, believes Leicester City will kick-start their season when they clash with West Brom on Monday evening.
Champions in 2016, Leicester haven’t had the best of starts, garnering just five points from nine games.
Ahead of a run of three home games, Ndidi is confident the Foxes will prove their mettle against any side that comes visiting the King Power.
“The game against West Brom, I’m looking forward to it. It will be a good game because we really need the three points, not just a point,” the 20-year-old told Leicester Mercury on Monday.
“We need to do everything we need to do to get the points. Every team wants to win. We will take everything as it comes.
“Not just their name and where they are in the league. The main thing is about us – we will just focus on ourselves.
“I feel this is the time to take our opportunity, with the fans around – the atmosphere will be brilliant. It’s an opportunity for us to get as many points as we can and we`ll see where we can be in the table.”
With nine games under his belt and boosted by his involvement in the successful Nigerian World Cup qualifying campaign, Ndidi doesn’t seem like slowing down anytime soon.
The ex-Genk man allayed fears of a potential injury having received a knock while on international duty.
“I feel sharp and I feel relaxed and I’m okay. I’m good to go,” he noted.
“I just try to do my thing – this is what I have to do and I just want to do it. So many people want this opportunity and they don’t get it. For me, I see this as an opportunity to play and I just want to play.”
