Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has made a stunning prediction about Leicester City’s next campaign that will delight Foxes fans.

Brendan Rodgers will surely be disappointed if his Leicester City side does not qualify for the Champions League this season. That’s not to say Foxes of Leicester believe said outcome is likely, at all. On the contrary, the Foxes certainly have a solid base, along with a skilled and experienced enough squad to finish in the top-four.

Yes, the slightly underwhelming beginning Leicester made to Project Restart isn’t a great omen, but match fitness as well as sharpness are acquired attributes through repetition. All the teams are in the same boat – although you wouldn’t guess it from Southampton, Newcastle or Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s stunning Leicester City prophecy

Everyone who watches live Premier League games or even just follows the scores and weekly updates knows Leicester are no longer merely punching above their weight division, so to speak. It appears Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have a new addition – or one of them is set to be replaced by the East Midlanders.

However, Liverpool and Man City remain in their own class of super-heavyweight, a duo currently out ahead of the chasing pack. Speaking of Pep Guardiola’s club, he made an encouraging prophecy about Rodgers’ outfit. The Spanish manager suggests that the Foxes can challenge for the PL title in 2020/21, against the aforementioned teams.
