'We have an opportunity... to make it a historical season': Brendan Rodgers issues Champions League challenge to his Leicester team

Brendan Rodgers challenged Leicester to go down in history by securing Champions League football for only the second time.

Ahead of Monday's home game against Aston Villa, the Foxes are third in the table - eight points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United - and will face Chelsea at home in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Despite a poor start to 2020 that has yielded only 12 points from as many games, Leicester remain on track to play their second Champions League campaign in four years, after their first foray into the tournament in 2016-17, as champions of England.
