Wes Morgan warns Champions League opponents not to underestimate Leicester City

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan warns the club's Champions League opponents not to underestimate the Foxes.

Wes Morgan has told Leicester City's Champions League opponents that it is "unwise" to underestimate the inexperienced Foxes.

Claudio Ranieri and his men will begin their first ever campaign in UEFA's elite competition this evening when they face Club Brugge in Group G.

Leicester earned their spot in the top tier of European football by becoming surprise Premier League champions for the first time in the club's history.

Prior to tonight's match in Belgium, it was revealed that only 20,000 fans are expected to travel to the Jan Breydel Stadium because a large number of home fans are not satisfied with their club's level of opposition in the competition.

"If they take us lightly then it's only to our advantage," Morgan told reporters. "I'm sure that won't be the case but we have to be prepared for whatever is thrown at us.

"If teams look at us and maybe think we're a weaker team than what they could have got I don't think that'll be wise. We want to go out there, show what we're capable of and prove what we can do.

"Our style is a different style and I'm not sure teams will be prepared for that. It's a good group in terms of the travelling but we can't take the teams for granted, they are big teams with a lot of experience and we need to be ready for whatever comes up against us."

Leicester will also face Porto and Copenhagen in their group fixtures.
