'No one expects us to be near the top' - Rodgers relieved by lack of Leicester title talk

The Foxes may be second in the table and on an eight-game winning streak, but the manager wants to manage expectations

Brendan Rodgers is happy that his Leicester side are not being talked up as Premier League title challengers this season, even though he feels they looked like a "top team" in Sunday's 4-1 win at Aston Villa.

Leicester are now on a club record run of eight consecutive Premier League victories and are still eight points behind leaders Liverpool, but they have moved six ahead of Manchester City after the defending champions lost 2-1 to Manchester United this weekend.
