[h=3]Hammond ready for Foxes backlash[/h]12:30pm Saturday 6th April 2013 in Albion By Brian Owen
Dean Hammond
Dean Hammond has warned Albion to be on guard against the wounded Foxes.
But the Seagulls midfielder is convinced they can pile more misery on Leicester City today.
Albion would move five points clear of their visitors to The Amex if they win the play-offs six-pointer.
Leicester have failed to win in their last seven games, a run which has seen them slump from second place to seventh.
Hammond said: “At some point it is going to turn. At some point they are going to get a reaction. It’s our job to make sure it’s not happening (today).
“I’ve said it before, we don’t fear anyone in this league. If we are on form at home we can beat anyone.
“As long as we concentrate on ourselves, it doesn’t matter what Leicester do.
“They are a good team and it has got to change at some point.”
Hammond believes the buzz around today’s match could rival that when Crystal Palace were beaten in front of a record crowd at The Amex recently.
He added: “I expect it will be like the Palace game. The atmosphere then was fantastic and let’s hope we can replicate that for the fans.”
