Leicester City will need to be patient to break down Newcastle United on Friday night, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
The two teams go head-to-head on Friday night in the curtain-raiser for this weekend's Premier League action.
Newcastle head to the King Power Stadium sitting on the periphery of the relegation battle this season, just seven points above the drop zone and having played a game more than Cardiff, who currently occupy 18th.
But unlike their fellow strugglers, the Magpies have been solid at the back this season, conceding the joint-lowest amount of goals in the bottom half, one less than this week's opponents City.
And Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is well aware of how much of a test it will be for his team to break down Newcastle this weekend.
"I expect a very, very tough game," he said in Wednesday's press conference.
"Rafa is a top class manager who organises his teams exceptionally well.
"They play in a 5-4-1 structure when they haven’t got the ball.
"So, it can be very difficult to break them down. Patience is going to be important, but patience always with speed and looking to be as creative as we possibly can.
"They don't give away many goals, so we know we will have to have that patience, but we have a lot of exciting players in the team who can be good in one-on-one situations, and who can manipulate the ball.
"They will have to show that quality throughout the game."
