Patson Daka Aims for Enhanced Impact with Leicester City
Patson Daka acknowledges the importance of Leicester City’s sustained performance to retain their position at the summit of the Sky Bet Championship in the upcoming weeks.
Leicester City is set for Sky Bet Championship action against Watford this Saturday (3pm GMT kick-off).
The fixture will be broadcast live on Foxes Hub for those with a valid Game Pass.
Patson Daka, the Foxes’ forward, shared insights ahead of the impending clash against the Hornets earlier this week.
According to the Zambian, maintaining the right mindset is crucial for achieving a positive outcome.
Daka has showcased impressive form, tallying six goals and three assists in nine appearances this season.
The Foxes embark on a demanding week, commencing with a visit to Vicarage Road to face play-off contenders Watford, followed by a home fixture against Sheffield Wednesday at King Power Stadium just three days later.
Reflecting on their resounding 5-0 triumph against Stoke City last weekend, Daka expressed satisfaction in contributing to the emphatic victory. His brace at bet365 Stadium extended his league goal tally to nine for the season, setting a positive tone for the crucial phase ahead.
“It was an incredible performance,” remarked the Zambia international on Leicester’s triumph in Stoke. “Playing away at Stoke is always challenging, but we displayed excellent teamwork. Securing an early goal significantly boosted our morale.”
“The win was significant, and it enhances our confidence for upcoming matches. As a striker, scoring goals strengthens the trust and support from teammates. It instills a sense of belief that every opportunity will be converted into a goal,” Daka added.
With Leicester currently enjoying an 11-point lead at the top of the table, fueled by three consecutive victories yielding 11 goals while conceding just one, Daka emphasized the need for caution against underestimating Saturday’s opponents.
“Away fixtures are inherently tough,” cautioned the 25-year-old. “We’ve shifted our focus from the previous game to this one, recognizing the distinct challenges posed by each opponent. We must adopt a different mentality and be prepared for a demanding encounter.”
“Collecting maximum points is imperative at this stage of the season,” Daka continued. “Every point dropped carries significant repercussions. We must seize every opportunity to maintain or extend our lead. Our aim is clear, and we are fully focused on achieving it.
