Savage will give Posh 'energy' - Foxes boss Martin

Leicester City manager Russell Martin says Peterborough United will be a more mysterious prospect under new boss Robbie Savage on Saturday – but what the Foxes boss does expect from the Posh is "a lot of energy". Savage's first League One game in charge of Peterborough will be at Leicester, a club where he spent five years and made 200-plus appearances more than two decades ago. The 51-year-old has been in the Posh job for just seven days, having left non-league side Forest Green Rovers to replace Luke Williams. Williams, who was sacked by the third-tier strugglers before the international break, is someone Martin knows well, having employed him as an assistant manager at MK Dons and Swansea City when he was in charge of those sides earlier in his career. Under Williams, Martin says he "felt like they weren't far away" from turning their poor start to the season around. Preparing for Peterborough's visit under Savage, Martin adds, has been "more difficult". "It's a young team and they have a new manager in Robbie, who is going to give them a lot of energy," Martin told BBC Radio Leicester . "The first few games under a new manager... you see different things emerge. It's really difficult to judge them on what's gone on previously. "The focus is on us and it's about us and what we are going to do. We have to be aware of them and also aware of the context of the game with a new manager."
