Claudio Ranieri disagrees with Arsene Wenger's points prediction for title win

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri disagrees with Arsene Wenger's claims that 86 points will be enough to win the Premier League title this season.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has suggested that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could be wrong in his prediction of how many points will win the Premier League title this season.

The Frenchman stated in Arsenal's recent AGM that a points total ranging from 82 to 86 will be enough to take home the coveted crown.

However, Ranieri, whose title-winning Foxes clinched the trophy with 81 points last season, has a different view.

"This season I think there are so many teams fighting for the title," the London Evening Standard quotes Ranieri as saying. "When there are so many teams maybe the total can go down.

"He's an expert on the Premier League, if Arsene says 86 he's right. I believe a little less but he's a boss. He has more experience no, 20 years. Me only five. There are so many teams who are fighting for the title, there will be a very good battle until the end."

Leicester have picked up 11 points from nine games this season, which has left them 12th in the table, nine points adrift of the top three.
