Stoke boss Mark Hughes wary of 'difficult' Leicester under new manager Claude Puel

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has admitted he has found it difficult to prepare for Leicester's visit on Saturday with new manager Claude Puel.

Stoke halted a run of poor results - winning just one of seven league games - with a victory at Watford last weekend and are hopeful of winning consecutive Premier League games for the first time this season.

Last weekend's victory saw Hughes' side climb three points clear of the relegation zone to 14th.

Leicester, currently 11th, replaced Craig Shakespeare with Puel last week and the Frenchman kicked off his tenure with a comfortable 2-0 win over Everton last Sunday, with Hughes insistent he is not underestimating the rejuvenated side.
