Following Leicester City’s narrow loss at Hull City, captain Wes Morgan says his side are looking forward to returning to King Power Stadium to take on Arsenal on Saturday. 

Having been beaten 2-1 at the KCOM Stadium last weekend, the Foxes will make their first home appearance of the season against Arsene Wenger’s outfit. 

A sold out King Power Stadium awaits Morgan’s men, and the City skipper says his outfit are aiming to impress against one of only two sides to beat the Foxes in the Premier League last term. 

Speaking to LCFC TV after the clash with Hull, Morgan said: “Hull are a good team and played well – they showed their qualities. It was our first game, but we don’t want to carry this on moving forward. 

“We need to put things right early, look forward to the next game and get a result there. We’re at our home ground and we want to put on a good display. 

“Most importantly, we want to go back to winning ways and do what we do best, which is go out there, give 100 per cent and pick up some wins.” 

Morgan says his side will learn from their defeat to Hull, and believes the best way to respond is by again giving their all against the Gunners in their next outing. 

He added: “We’re obviously disappointed because we were second best throughout. We did have our chances, but it wasn’t meant to be, so we have to learn from this defeat. 

“The first half was pretty tight. We were back and forth in possession and no one was really creating too many chances. We were disappointed to go behind, but we did create again after that. 

“In the second half, we came out and had a great start, but I felt we just didn’t kick on from there. We dropped off and Hull were in the ascendancy and looked confident. We need to learn from our errors and put it right for the next game.”

Zlatan holds back the clock but time's up for Rooney

  The Swedish striker shows no sign of letting up despite his age but the writing is on the wall for his Old Trafford captain who is not missed in the starting XI or squad COMMENT BY LINEARSPORTS The latest signal that Wayne Rooney serves no purpose for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United came not in a game when he played badly or appeared out of his depth but one in which he was completely absent. The United squad stepped off the coach at Old Trafford for their Boxing Day fixture against Sunderland without Rooney, providing the decisive clue that he wouldn’t be involved. He had pulled up with an injury during Christmas Day training and Mourinho is already planning for Saturday's match at home to Middlesbrough without him. "Honestly I don't think so,” he said of Rooney’s chances of recovering in time. “Let's see. It's not a big deal but in four days I have my doubts." He probably wouldn’t start anyway, not the way United are p...

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open fo...
