IN-FORM LEICESTER have been given an unusual incentive ahead of their Premier League encounter with Stoke this weekend.
The Foxes, who currently lie second in the table, have a difficult game at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
However, manager Claudio Ranieri has offered to buy the team pizza if they keep a clean sheet — something they have not managed this season so far despite their overall success.
“I want to pay a pizza for a clean sheet. When we get one I pay for pizza and maybe a hot dog,” the Leicester boss told reporters.
On the side’s success, he pointed to their speedy counter-attack as one reason for their overachievement to date: “My team is like the RAF [Royal Air Force]….beep, beep, beep, I love it.
“When you want to build something, it’s about the club. The head of the fish. Everyone works together. That’s the secret.”
