Manchester City stretched by injuries, fixtures admits Manuel Pellegrini
The Foxies are now 5 points clear in front of Manchester City and 8 to Arsenal that is set to play tomorrow.
“When I lost the job I said, “What a pity, I made mistakes to come here because when you train for four matches, you train for just 15 days – three or four days before each match”.
Leicester’s German defender Robert Huth wheeling away after scoring his second goal of the game and his side’s third goal. It is the best spirit I remember in my career.
City looked as though they wanted the victory much more than their heavily-fancied rivals at the Etihad Stadium, and Ranieri said the spirit within his camp was a big factor in their success. I think the first goal was very good for our confidence.
“We enjoy it a lot and the players can enjoy it until Tuesday and then focus on Arsenal”. We know it’s a insane league.

“As I have said all these weeks, it is very important to go game-by-game and try to beat Tottenham here because they are another team who are fighting for the title”. That’s the only thing that’s changed about him. We’re not in our best moment – we have just 14 players fit and we’re playing a lot of games.
“We have another huge game next week against Spurs, so we have a long week now to rest”, he said.
“But he took them to another level, playing an incredible style of winning football”.
