Leicester chief eyes Cup fillip

Leicester City manager Gary Megson has urged his players to take their Carling Cup form into the league after Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.

The Foxes dumped their Premier League opposition out courtesy of Matt Fryatt's first goal of the campaign and now Megson wants a similar performance when they face Stoke City in the Championship on Saturday.

"As a player, I got a few decent results at Villa Park but this is my first win there as a manager, and it's a great victory for us," he said.

"When you enter these competitions you want to do as well as you can and the effort we put in has got to be a starting point for us.

"We've now got to put that in every time we play. That sets the standard I want to see every week."
