Aston Villa midfielder George Boateng has started a war of words with Leicester ahead of tomorrow's rearranged clash at Villa Park.

Speaking on his official website located at http://www.icons.com/boateng/home.html the former Coventry man said, "Leicester are the only team we haven't beaten in the league in recent times.

"It's not because they are a fantastic team, but because when we play them they seem to play better. We aren't scared of them, and we look forward to the match but hopefully we can reverse the trend of bad luck we’ve had against them recently."

He goes onto say, "In the FA Cup fourth round earlier this year we totally outplayed them and they managed to squeeze a couple goals from a low amount of shots. This was very disheartening but we feel that they have had a lot of luck against us. On the day, we should beat them."

He ends his column by predicting a 1-0 win for Villa.

It is sure to fuel the fires that were started late last year when Villa chairman Doug Ellis was quoted as taking the pi*s out of Leicester by asking if we were having beans on toast while his personal chef cooked for him.
