No One is Surprised by Leicester City Anymore — Pre-Match Interview
“[Leicester] won’t just sit back and wait for a mistake”. Everything is going right for them at this point in time and they deserve to be top of the table right now, playing the brand of football that is incisive, lethal and downright cut-throat.

– Leicester have won 18 of their last 26 Premier League games.
And with t he Foxes top of the Barclays Premier League by two points Ranieri would listen to requests to move if he can find replacements.
“I appreciate Klopp a lot”, the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Juventus boss said. He says simply of the team’s title hopes: “Why can’t we?”
If Liverpool are to gain anything from the fixture, they will have to find a way to keep Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez quiet, as the duo have been in staggering form for Leicester City this season.
A late run of form eventually saw them escape relegation and begin the campaign in stunning form, a factor Ranieri attributes to how hard his players work for each other.
“They showed us that if we impress them then they can give us that one or two percent more”. If the world are speaking about you, then you enjoy and continue to play.
“The players know we are doing well but we haven’t achieved anything”, Ranieri said.
“Maybe I want to go one way and they want to go another way, and we have to go together”. Simon Mignolet is a doubt but will replace Adam Bogdan in goal if fit enough.
City could have captain Vincent Kompany back against Sunderland after eight games out with a calf injury.
Ranieri, on the other hand, should be bothered by a few important injuries.
Liverpool are winless in four matches in all competitions but Ranieri is more concerned with ensuring his squad maintain focus and continue to lead the way in an unpredictable season.
And the Belgian admits he is desperate to start when leaders Leicester City visit on Boxing Day. “It’s a chance for us to win some games”. When I embraced him at the end of the match, I was honest.

Mahrez typifies Leicester City’s glorious season thus far. “This is a big step”, he told the club’s official website. He has scored 13 goals and has picked up 7 assists in 16 appearances for Leicester and looks unstoppable. “I’m not surprised any more, nobody is surprised. I repeat that you never win the title in December”.
