Jamie Vardy set to sign a massive new deal with Leicester City

“It was an unbelievable pass from Riyad Mahrez and unbelievable what Vardy did”, Leicester boss Ranieri said of the opening goal.

As well as the inevitable questions about his move to City, Guardiola was also asked about his relationship with his players amid reports of dressing-room tensions at Bayern. “You can do the flawless match and they can win because they have a magician in the team”.

A 3-0 win on Tuesday lifted them above Arsenal.

“We go there and want to challenge them and to make our situation better, and for this we need the points”, he said. That is what we want. The players have a good feeling”, Ranieri said, while midfielder Danny Drinkwater, when asked if Leicester could win the league, told the BBC: “It’s not a coincidence we’re top of the table.

“The others [are favourites]”.

Bottom club Aston Villa’s hopes of avoiding relegation suffered another setback when they had Jordan Ayew sent off after 17 minutes for elbowing Aaron Cresswell before slipping to a predictable 2-0 defeat at sixth-placed West Ham United.

“We had quite a lot of opportunities, but they had the match victor”.

Claudio Ranieri explains Leicester will continue to dream in hopes of keeping results positive.

It sounds daunting, but all season, Leicester have refused to bow to supposed superiors and the Midlands club are growing in stature at just the right time.

Vardy netted twice at the King Power Stadium, in front of watching national team manager Roy Hodgson, to keep Claudio Ranieri’s side three points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Aguero, whose season has been disrupted by injury, was top scorer in the league last season with 26 goals and is firmly established among the world’s top striking talents.

Before the match it emerged talks had begun over a deal until 2019, and Vardy said he intends to stay.

“They are all different and come from different circumstances but today Vardy and Kane are at the same level as Aguero”.

“We don’t know why he was dizzy”.

“I don’t know if you can compare but what we did at Villarreal was similar”.

“So we will see which day we are going to play the FA Cup but before that we have to play against Leicester, against Tottenham, two teams that are also fighting for the title, so we will see after that what we will do with the FA Cup”.
