JORES OKORE insists Aston Villa can follow the example of Leicester and become this season's great escape artists after finally breaking their duck with new manager Remi Garde.

| Jores Okore reckons Aston Villa must replicate Leicester's great escape last season |
The central defender believes a first victory in 11 under the Frenchman, albeit a scrappy 1-0 against Crystal Palace on Tuesday, has the potential to kick-start their season.
Villa face Leicester next at home on Saturday followed by West Brom away.
"We all still believe we can do it otherwise we wouldn't be here," he said. "We have shown we can work hard and we have the belief we can get on a run now with two big games coming up.
"If we get something against those two teams then everything seems possible."
The recent history of Leicester, who transformed themselves from relegation ducklings into title-chasing swans inside 12 months, may well serve as motivation seeing as they were in a similar position to Villa this time last year.
"Leicester did really well last year but if they can do it we need to believe we can do it, too," said Okore.
