Wout Faes: Leaders Leicester City 'not looking at table' before Leeds game

Leicester City have no intention of looking over their shoulders at the chasing pack in their bid for the Championship title and automatic promotion, says defender Wout Faes.

Defeat by Middlesbrough on Saturday reduced the Foxes' lead at the top of the table to nine points.

Leicester next face second-placed Leeds United at Elland Road on Friday.

"We look forward to it and hope to make the gap a little bigger again," Faes told BBC Radio Leicester.

Leeds' victory at Plymouth on Saturday returned them to second spot in the table, edging back ahead of Southampton.
