Rafa Benitez knows how tough it will be against a Leicester side that lifted the Premier League title in 2016 and still have a bulk of the players involved.
Benitez, who is looking for his first win in six matches, said: “I think that some people don’t realise the level of some of the teams we are up against.
“You have teams that have been in the Premier League three or four years.
“They’re in our half of the table but still we have to compete against them.
“They have the advantage of experience in the Premier League and we have some young players who are just learning.
“In Leicester’s case, we are talking about a team that has actually WON the Premier League.
“It wasn’t an easy thing to do.
“You may not see that for another 100 years.
“They still have very good players.”
