Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez: 'We won't win the Premier League'

By , Staff Reporter
Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez does not believe that his team can win the Premier League this year, despite being top at the moment.

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has played down suggestions that the club could win the Premier League title this season.

Claudio Ranieri's side are unlikely leaders in the table after 15 games.

The Foxes have a two-point lead above second-placed Arsenal, and can extend it further if they defeat out-of-form Chelsea on Monday.

However, Mahrez does not believe that he and his teammates will sustain their run at the top.

"We just need to get the 40 points and then after that we will see," Mahrez told BBC World Service. "I don't think we can win the league."

Last weekend, Mahrez scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 triumph over Swansea City.
