Wes Morgan admits champions status has hindered Leicester City's season: 'Teams are giving extra 10 per cent because they want to beat us more'

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has admitted 'teams give 10 per cent more' this season due to their status as unlikely Premier League champions.

The Foxes sealed an historic league crown last term but have struggled to replicate that form this campaign, winning just three of their opening 13 matches.

Their performances in the Premier League , however, leaves them just two points above the relegation zone u2012 and Morgan admits their new-found status has meant fellow top-flight sides are more determined than ever to beat them.
