Leicester City's Mark Schwarzer plays down Champions League talk

Leicester City goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says that the team are not thinking about potential qualification for the Champions League this season.

Leicester City goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has insisted that the team are not thinking about the possibility of qualifying for the Champions League this season.

The Foxes, who were tipped to be relegation candidates before the campaign began, sit top of the Premier League after 15 games and are two points clear of second-placed Arsenal.

Schwarzer, though, says that the Leicester players will not get carried away by the success that they have had under Claudio Ranieri so far.

When asked if his teammates were thinking about Champions League football, Schwarzer told talkSPORT: "No, not at all. It is quite bizarre at the moment. Everyone is just enjoying the journey we are having.

"Being at the top of the table is something that nobody expected. I don't think there is any single person around who would say they tipped us to be where we are.

"It is just an unbelievable journey at the moment. The guys are playing to the best of their ability and we are trying to make the most of the situation we are in."

Leicester face Chelsea next Monday.
