Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez going nowhere – Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri
Manchester City are looking at another month without captain Vincent Kompany after the defender suffered a second degree tear in his calf during Saturday’s 4-1 Premier League win over Sunderland, manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed.

Arsenal leads Leicester – the surprise team of the season – on goal difference, with third-place City three points behind after half of the league campaign. “At the end of January after six or seven more games maybe we can see more which teams will be involved”.
“I think what we did is a miracle”, said Ranieri.
“Believe me, the next match is more hard”.
Pellegrini’s side have scored just one goal in their last five Premier League away games.
Claudio Ranieri has given his Leicester stars permission to celebrate on New Year’s Eve – as long as they avoid a Bournemouth hangover.
Manchester City on the other hand aren’t that far off the top of the table themselves, now sitting in fourth with a game in hand on most of the competition. With that mentality we must try to play the game.
“We started the season strongly but we’ve not been great over the last 12 games or so but we’re in a good position and the two teams above us deserve to be there”. I’d like my players to continue to fight like today. We have played everyone now and we have showed we are more than capable of playing up there with the best of them. “I think the big teams have to stay at a high level, but sometimes it means nobody wants to win the league – it’s very odd this league”, Ranieri told BT Sport after the City game.
“I am sure they will focus on the task at hand and the boys want to be here and see it through”, Morgan said of the in-form pair.
“But we are there and we love to stay there”.
With both Chelsea and City identifying the 28-year-old as a target that would boost their own forward lines, Leicester have had to reconsider their wage structure.
But Leicester will now have to reassess their aims for the second half of the season as they continue to last the pace with the big boys.

“Of course we are very happy when a lot of people are saying Leicester can be top of the league at the end of the season”.
