"RUN JAMIE! RUN!"
You've got to love Claudio Ranieri. Not only is he mixing things up at the top of the Premier League, but he's doing it with a smile on his face. His high-flying Foxes sit atop of the tree at Christmas, and are thrilling the country with their pacy, energetic brand of high-octane football.
Ahead of their Boxing Day game at Liverpool, the Italian is confident his players' energy won't drop - and compares their run to that of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump.
"Look, I am very confident because if Leicester last season saved themselves in the last two months that means the stamina is fantastic," Ranieri explained. "Why can’t we continue to run, run, run? We are like Forrest Gump. Leicester is Forrest Gump. I give you the headline there."
You certainly do, Claudio. Never change - and never stop running!Explore more on these topics:
