Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is keen to ensure their impressive season is not a one-off, despite conceding they are having a strange year.The Foxes have been installed as Premier League title favourites after opening up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table following last weekends 3-1 victory at Manchester City.They face another big test of their title credentials in a Super Sunday clash at third-placed Arsenal on Sunday, but Ranieri said his aims have not changed since his summer appointment at the King Power Stadium. Leicester Citys 3-1 win over Manchester City has no significance at all says Claudio Ranieri When I signed, our objective was clear - to build this team, gradually bringing it to the top spots, Ranieri told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.We know were having a strange year, were doing well because the big teams havent found their rhythm, but our plans wont change next year beyond what happens at the end of this season. Vardy has a unique characteristic, he runs at 1,000 miles an hour and always at the same speed. Claudio Ranieri on Jamie Vardy We must continue to build to target, in the next three or four years, the top spots in the Premier League and fighting for the Europa League.If we do all this in advance in one year we mustnt applaud ourselves, next year well start again from scratch.Asked about comparisons with the success of smaller clubs in Italy, Ranieri replied: Are we like Foggia, Chievo and Empoli?Its a similar story for the feelings it provokes, but there isnt much of a comparison with the three Italian teams from a strictly football point of view.Foggia, Chievo and Empoli were built over time, while we were born immediately. Leicester only just survived relegation last season after an incredible finish to their campaign in which they won seven of their closing nine matches under previous manager Nigel Pearson.Ranieri was a surprise choice to succeed Pearson following his ill-fated spell in charge of the Greece national team but Leicester have lost only twice in the Premier League since his appointment.Leicester have impressed as a unit but Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have provided their main attacking threat, scoring 32 Premier League goals between them.This year Mahrez has given us incredible magic, added Ranieri. Technically I dont know who he resembles, he has immense quality and is our reference point: when we need to create, we give the ball to him. Jamie Vardy has scored 18 times for the Foxes this season Vardy on the other hand has a unique characteristic, he runs at 1,000 miles an hour and always at the same speed.Watch Arsenal v Leicester City, the opening game of a Super Sunday triple bill.

Besides being on Bryce Harpers back, its also the Nationals overall ranking in this years Ultimate Standings. Thats tied for the highest mark D.C. die-hards have ever given their team. In case youre wondering, the first 34 came back in 2012, when No. 34 was a rookie. Hooray for election years.Whats goodNationalists give props to the power combo that is the Lerner family and GM Mike Rizzo (ownership is 26 and fourth in baseball), and why not? A year after raining $210 million on free agent Max Scherzer, they coughed up another $175 million to keep fellow hurler Stephen Strasburg in the District. They engineered shrewd deals that netted MVP candidate Daniel Murphy and rookie phenom Trea Turner. Combine all those studs with Harper, who for all his struggles in 2016 still has an off-the-charts Q rating, and its easy to see why Nats fans dig their dudes (a 32nd-place ranking in roster).Whats badFor the price of one seat at a Redskins game ($102 on average), you could buy two Nationals tickets and still afford two beers and two hot dogs in the park.dddddddddddd Still, when it comes to affordability (51) and bang-itude (66), Washington gets ho-hum marks. Maybe its the $5 16-ounce sodas (tied for MLBs priciest per ounce). Maybe its the franks that fetch $5.25, among the costliest in the league. Or maybe were just nit-picking (er, Nat-picking). Hey, somebodys gotta do the dirty work.Whats newDusty Bakers not new. In fact, hes old. Really old, by baseball standards. Sixty-seven, to be exact, the most ancient skipper in all the land. But hes new to D.C., and Nats fans love him to the tune of a 23rd-place ranking in coaching, up 37 spots from a year ago. Why not? The exceedingly human bench boss guided the Nats to 95 wins (12 more than predecessor Matt Williams) and within a Clayton Kershaw save of their first postseason series win. If that werent enough, he dances during batting practice, has more stories than the Library of Congress and is constantly giving off warm-and-fuzzy grandpa vibes. Hooray for grandpa vibes.Next: Pittsburgh Pirates?| Full rankings ' ' '
