Brendan Rodgers has backed Leicester to qualify for the Champions League despite a late-season wobble in the Premier League.
The Foxes travel to Arsenal on Tuesday as they strive to return to Europe’s elite club competition for the first time since 2016/17.
Rodger’s Leicester are third in the Premier League table after Saturday’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace ended their four-match winless streak in all competitions since the coronavirus hiatus.
Rodgers believes his team can finish in the top four again despite a tight race, with fifth-placed Manchester United just three points behind them.
“There’s no doubt, we have shown over 33 games our talent. OK, we’re maybe missing some players but as a squad we’re very focused on achieving it and we’ll fight to the final whistle,” Rodgers said.
“What the players have done has been remarkable. I’m pretty clear on that and getting the perspective of it all.
“If you think of the two teams in front of us (Liverpool and Manchester City), two of the greatest teams the Premier League has produced, for us to be second in the league from a defensive perspective and third-highest goalscorers means the players have been brilliant.
