Ranieri s shock table-toppers travel to City on Saturday before facing Arsenal with their confidence sky-high after underlining their title credentials with an impressive 2-0 win over Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
NOVEMBER 28: during the Barclays Premier League match between Leicester City and Manchester United at The King Power Stadium on November 28, 2015 in Leicester, England.
It was Mahrez against Mignolet again in the 35th minute, but this time the Belgium worldwide needed to be at the top of his game to keep the Algerian’s first-time effort out, diving full stretch to tip the ball over the bar.
“He saw him out of the goal and shot, it was incredible, unbelievable, fantastic”.
Leicester face City and Arsenal in their next two games but Ranieri, the Leicester manager, is still refusing to admit publicly they are title contenders.
“We go there and want to challenge them and to make our situation better, and for this we need the points”, he said. We know sooner or later we’ll lose a match but it’s important how we lose. But when I go home, I have to think about why, and then we have to change it.
The England global helped Leicester maintain their three-point lead over Manchester City and ensured they are also ten points above fifth place.
Another priority should be the Europa League, which if won would see Liverpool in next years Champions League – the main goal for many Liverpool fans. “One second before we were in their box and we didn’t shoot”. In the 60th minute, Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, the two best players on Leicester’s squad, combined on a counter-attack.
Klopp has said he doesn’t like to complain about the busyness of the fixture list, but like it or not the congestion has real world consequences for Liverpool’s players.
“It’s not over – we need to stay positive and be more efficient in the next games to come”.
