Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has confirmed the Foxes will be without NGolo Kante for at least two matches. The 24-year-old midfielder sustained a hamstring injury against Norwich City, so will miss out on the West Bromwich Albion and Watford games.

NGolo Kante we will lose for the next two matches. Hopefully only two. He has a little pain with his hamstring so I will give him some rest, Ranieri said at a pre-match press conference. All season hes had a problem with one leg and now its the other leg – perhaps he was over compensating.

Leicester currently sit top of the Premier League, leading Tottenham by 2 points. Ranieri said Spurs are now the favourites to win the title. Tottenham and Arsenal are favourites. They have the players that can do everything, and win every match.
