Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri pays tribute to Manchester City

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri says that his team will need to play "a perfect match" to stand a chance of beating title challengers Manchester City at the weekend.

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has insisted that his team will need to be aware of Manchester City's 'many magicians' when they travel to the Etihad in the Premier League this weekend.

The Foxes will enter Saturday's match three points clear of Man City at the top of the table.

Ranieri has admitted that it will be "tough" for his side to secure a result in Manchester, but wants the club's supporters to "continue to dream" of a possible title success this season.

"Man City have too many dangerous players. You can play a perfect match but they'll win because they have magicians. It's an open game as they want to win. We want to win too, so it's open. Both teams want to win, so maybe it'll be a draw!" Ranieri told reporters.

"Our fans continue to dream. That is what we want. We know it's a tough match but from now there will only be tough matches."

Leicester have only lost twice in the league this season and were 2-0 winners over Liverpool last time out.
