Robinson: Millwall will use Leicester spending as motivation

Millwall skipper Paul Robinson says his side will use Leicester's mammoth summer spending spree as extra motivation when they head to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Foxes lavished nearly £15m on 11 new players in the summer but they are seven points behind leaders Southampton after a mixed start to the season.

Millwall have not won themselves since beating Nottingham Forest on August 13 and are in the Championship relegation zone.

Yet Robinson says Leicester's big spending means they are the team to beat in the second tier and is adamant his side will raise their game against Sven-Goran Eriksson's men.

"Teams will raise their game against Leicester because of the amount of money they spent," said Robinson ahead of what will be his 300th game for Millwall.

"Maybe that is why they haven't started the game quite as well as they would have liked. And I'm sure we will look to use that as motivation when we go there.

"We haven't been on the best run of form but one victory would really kick-start our season. We seem to have always done well against Leicester and have beaten them a couple of times, including last season when we won 2-0 at the Den. And this could be the game that makes all the difference to us."
