Iheanacho: Leicester City Ready For Top-Four Battle

Kelechi Iheanacho says Leicester City are up for the fight to secure a Champions League ticket at the end of the season, reports Completesports.com.

Brendan Rodgers’ side were cruising to a third-place finish before the lockdown, but they have picked just one win from five league outings since the restart.

The Foxes now face a big fight for a top-four finish with Frank Lampard’s Chelsea and a resurgent Manchester United side who are unbeaten since the restart looking good to pick the slot ahead of them.

The Nigeria international however insists Leicester City must focus on their remaining games and not think too much about their rivals

“Bruno [Fernandes] is a top player. They’ve got Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba back in the team now. They’re flying. But that’s not what we need to worry about. We just need to focus on our games,”Iheanacho told Sky Sports.

Iheanacho’s former club, Manchester City are certain to finish in second position, but the Citizens could still miss out on playing in the Champions Legaue next season if their ban from the competition is upheld and their appeal is unsuccessful.

That means a fifth- place finish might be enough for Champions League qualification- but Iheanacho clearly believes Leicester are masters of their own destiny.

“I don’t know what’s going on with that but we’re just focusing on our games.”
