Leicester City Are Underdogs Claudio Ranieri

Claudio Ranieri Leicester manager believes his team remain the underdogs in the Premier League title race, despite their three-point advantage at the top of the table.

The Foxes continue to defy any expectations that they will fall away in the title battle, beating Liverpool 2-0 on Tuesday to remain out in front but Ranieri thinks City, plus Tottenham and Arsenal, who lie third and fourth, remain more likely winners. Ranieri says there will only be tough matches between now and the end of the season, starting on Saturday, when they face a summit meeting with second-placed Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Italian said “The others are the favourites, not Leicester. We are still the underdogs. Who will win? The strongest team. Manchester City are built to win the title and fight for the Champions League. I think the Champions League is their main objective, and I hope they can win. Our fans continue to dream, and that is what we want. We know it will be another tough match at Man City but from now, to the end, there will only be tough matches. Now there is a battle for the title, Europe, and relegation. The window is closed, everyone is improved. I am relaxed because we are having a very good season”
