Premier League: Brendan Rodgers Coy About Leicester City's Title Chances

News 18  

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers says talk of his side emulating the Foxes’ 2016 fairytale Premier League title win is premature given the volatile state of the race for the crown. Rodgers, though, is wary of any such comparisons especially as his side faded in the run in to the title race last term and lost out on a Champions League spot. Rodgers, who went agonisingly close to lifting the trophy with Liverpool in the 2013/14 campaign, used Tuesday’s opponents and their fellow London club Tottenham Hotspur as examples of what a moveable feast the race for the title is. “It’s going to be a huge challenge to be up there but we are happy to take on that challenge.” Rodgers is reportedly one of Chelsea’s targets should Roman Abramovich fire Frank Lampard after a poor run of form.
