Leicester midfielder Andy King has bagged 4 goals this season

Leicester midfielder Andy King has warned Foxes fans that they will not run away with League One this season.

City could go top of the table if they beat league leaders Scunthorpe at Glanford Park on Saturday.

But King told BBC Radio Leicester: "Wherever we go it will be their big game of the season.

"When teams come to this ground they're going to sit back and try and make it difficult because they know we've got the players who can get us promoted."

The Welsh Under-21 international has only missed one game for Leicester this term - the first round League Cup fixture against Stockport - meaning that he has already played 24 games for club and country.

Defender Jack Hobbs may earn a recall as Patrick Kisnorbo is still sidelined with a knee injury.

Hobbs said: "I'll be ready, I've just made sure that I'm working hard and ready to step in if need be to take my chance."

Hobbs, who spent time on loan at Glanford Park last season, added: "They're very physical, very high tempo as well and work really hard.

"They can mix it up and can be a little more direct than other teams we've faced. It should be a good battle."

Both sides were relegated from the Championship last season but are front runners to go back up at the first attempt.

Leicester have only ever faced The Iron four times in their history and are unbeaten, winning three and drawing one.
