Table-topping Ranieri still plays down Leicester chances

Jurgen Klopp talks about the challenges Liverpool face this season and compares the Premier League to the Bundesliga. The next game is Sunderland and we must try to beat them here.

Wayne Rooney is a long time British star who plays for Manchester United. The evening kick-off sees Southampton take on Arsenal at St Mary’s Stadium. You have to go all the way back to 2001 to find the last time a team outside the traditional top four of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, as well as new giants Manchester City were No. 1 at this point.

The 19-year-old was playing League One football with MK Dons last season, and despite his tender years has looked more than comfortable in the Spurs starting XI.

“We don’t have the high quality like City and Arsenal but we fight together”. The visitors are hardly a major threat, but it would be a mistake to underestimate them, given their past performance against top Premier League teams. They are, unsurprisingly, top of the form table as well, picking up 16 points from 6 games while their recent form on road has been impeccable – 5 wins in 6.

If anybody could get the better of Kante, it may not come down to the attacking guile of Kevin de Bruyne, but the rampaging nature of Yaya Toure.

They are the surprising leaders of the Premier League and they haven’t lost a match in the last 3 months.

First things first, here’s all 10 Premier Leagues games.

The Cherries are in a rich vein of form having won at Chelsea and West Brom either side of the aforementioned victory over United.

Origi shot just over the bar after cutting in from the right before forcing Kasper Schmeichel into a good save at his near post after he drove into space in the area, but the Belgian forward limped off shortly before half-time with what looked to be a problem with his right hamstring.

Chelsea will be keen to reverse their disastrous start to the season, which has put them in a lowly 15th position.

The home crowd will be hoping for three points but know that Leicester are not to be taken lightly at all, especially as they sit 14 points ahead of the Reds after 17 games.

And while many others think it’s a matter of time before Leicester falls away, Ranieri isn’t excluding anything.

The tale of the two clubs and their contrasting fortunes is the biggest surprise in the history of the Premier League.

“One manager at Quimper said to me, “You have to play without contact, you have to be clever because now you’re not strong enough”. Speaking of which, the Reds are mired in a losing streak and if Klopp wants to bring his new team to a Champions League spot, he needs to defeat Leicester at home.

“I agree with the people who say our run will end, when they say Arsenal or Manchester City is the favourite”.
