Leicester unlikely to win Premier League, says Mahrez

Leicester City could win the Premier League this season if the club’s owners back their manager with funds in the January transfer window, former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has said.

They’re 18 off Leicester, but for me the Foxes are not going to be winning the league come May.

That victory allowed the west London club to progress to the knockout stages to the elite European competition, but their domestic form remains a problem.

“He listens, he wants to work hard, do extra training, he’s with a good group of players, he’s with a good manager and he’s at a good club”, he added. The Foxes top the division and are just eight points short of a total that should guarantee them top-flight football next season. “We are growing up, we want to test our team; what we can do this season, this is my personal goal”. Nobody has doubts that he does not forget his time at Chelsea, everybody that is at this club for a certain period of time likes this club. They still have 23 games left this season and are only two wins away from matching last season’s total of 11 wins.

Such has been the remarkable transformation that Leicester, who spent 140 days at rock bottom last season, could justifiably be regarded as favourites to beat a struggling Chelsea side and retain their lead. Their [Costa and Hazard] performance against Porto was very good, at this moment I’m not as anxious as I was.

“After that I imagine myself coaching – not every club, there are some clubs I will never manage – but every club in the world”.

“Independent of the Bournemouth defeat, I think in the last couple of months everyone is improving, the team is improving”, Mourinho said. I think he should win manager of the half-term.

“I’d like to do a similar thing, that would be great”, 25-year-old Taylor told BBC Points West.

Mourinho has a full squad to pick from for the trip to Leicester with both John Terry and Ramires returning from injury in the win over Porto.

“They are there because they are doing well”.

“We need to play like this in the Premier League as well, we need to win our next game, it’s very important for us”. “While it is mathematically possibly, we have to try”.

“I don’t see in Cesc any different than the team”. Another clean sheet, also, shows that we are heading in the right direction, defensively.
