Claudio Ranieri not thinking about Leicester’s Premier League title chances
Branislav Ivanovic , Pedro and Oscar scored the goals to lift them to 15th, albeit still only four points above the bottom three. Many Premier League observers will suggest that the Foxes will not be able to carry on this form for the rest of the season.

City welcomed striker Sergio Aguero back to the starting lineup for the first time since November and the first half was an intriguing encounter at times, with both teams passing the ball around confidently.
“We played very well, it’s not easy to control the game at Arsenal”.
A minute later and Arsenal had the ball in the back of the net. “So it was a bit against the game but we had to keep going to defend well as a team and we conceded before half-time”.
Ozil downplayed his role in the team’s display.
And what an opening goal it was from Theo Walcott, pretty much out of the blue and just over a minute after De Bruyne had a good chance at the other end.
“We are all very happy with Manuel and it is not something we look at”, the Spaniard said.
