Clubs’ aim shows how well Foxes have done - BR
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers believes if the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United are focusing on a topfour finish it puts his side’s achievements so far into perspective.
The Foxes are currently third in the Premier League table and face a huge match on Saturday with the visit of out-of-form defending champions Liverpool, currently three points behind them in fourth.
Liverpool’s hopes of defending their Premier League crown look to have been ended by defeat to Manchester City last weekend and Jurgen Klopp has admitted the priority has to be qualifying for the Champions League again.
“I hear teams like Liverpool and Manchester United talking about looking at being in the top four,” said Rodgers.
“So where does that leave teams like ourselves in terms of our aspirations if the Premier League champions and some of the superpowers of our game are looking to get into the top four.
“I think that shines a light on how amazing the players here have been up until now and what we have to try to do is quietly go about our work, beingas professional as we can be and see where it takes us.
“There are so many games left to play, my only focus is looking at our performance level. You can’t worry about where we are at now as we’ve been very good to this point.”
Rodgers has to turn his attention to the FA Cup tonight with a place in the quarter-finals on offer when they host fellow Premier League side Brighton.
Next week the Europa League restarts with a tie against Slavia Prague and Leicester could still be fighting on three fronts.
