ARSENAL IS THE CLUB UNDER PRESSURE NOT LEICESTER CITY SAYS RANIERI


Leicester city boss Claudio Ranieri hopes no one will wake his Leicester team from their dream season, but expects rival clubs to step up the mind games during the Premier League run-in.
"We don't have the pressure, we did our job. Our goal is OK, anything more which comes is fantastic,'' Ranieri said. "I know slowly, slowly somebody will want to put pressure on us. They say, 'OK, Leicester -- sooner or later -- will go down'.
"Now, some people are thinking, 'Maybe Leicester can win, it's important to put pressure on them, to say something because we spent a lot of money, if we don't win it's a disaster.'''
Leicester's win at the Etihad Stadium last weekend saw them prevail against an expensively assembled side which cost much more than the Foxes spent on their side.
"We want to fight face to-face-with strength and respect. The pressure is about the other teams," Ranieri said.  "We have a pressure for our little gap; Arsenal spend a lot of money, they have pressure.
"Tell me why I must feel the pressure? Why are so many journalists here? It's a great story, so why the pressure, let's enjoy it.''

"I hope the bookmakers, this time, are right but I am very pragmatic,'' the 64-year-old said. "Give me points and not words. We want to continue to dream -- nobody wake us up, please.''
