Rodgers and Leicester ready to fight 'top six' ahead of Arsenal clash

The Foxes boss believes his side can disrupt the established order at the top of the Premier League

Ahead of Leicester City’s meeting with Arsenal this weekend, Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers believes his side is capable of gatecrashing the Premier League’s top six.

Leicester currently sit in third place, six points ahead of Arsenal and just two behind Manchester City.

Thanks to their 9-0 victory against Southampton, they also have a better goal difference than league leaders, and Rodgers' former club, Liverpool.
