Turner signed Pearson

As time goes on it's amazing how many players Graham Turner signed in the earlier part of his managerial career are now managers themselves.

Tomorrow's opponents are no exception as Turner signed Nigel Pearson as a player whilst in charge at Shrewsbury.

And whilst the odds will be on a Leicester victory, Turner may just take notice that they could only draw against Leeds at Elland Road yesterday.

"To go to the Walkers Stadium will be a tremendous occasion. Usually we play better against the better teams," said Turner.

"There's nothing to stop us looking forward to Leicester and seeing whether we can get something out of the game."

Meanwhile Pearson knows the Foxes are favourites to win the game.

"People might look on it as an easy game, but that is very rarely the case," he said.

"I am not going to hide the fact that we were disappointed to lose a late equaliser at Leeds but now we need to be positive.

"It will be awkward because we have to recover in a short time."
