Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has claimed that his side's upcoming match against Bournemouth will be the most difficult of their festive fixtures.
The Foxes have faced Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester City in their last four games, taking seven points from a possible 12 to keep them at the top end of the table.
However, Ranieri believes that Bournemouth will pose the toughest test of the lot despite the Cherries being just three points clear of the relegation zone.
"Believe me, the next match is more difficult. Bournemouth press well and they played very well at Arsenal. It will be a difficult match," Ranieri is quoted as saying by PA.
"For me, it is important to think about Bournemouth and what we can do for the next month. It's not easy for us but we want to fight with everybody. It is fantastic what we're doing.
"We play Bournemouth, Tottenham twice, Stoke, but we are ready to fight."
Leicester have failed to score in their last two games having found the back of the net in each of their first 20 matches in all competitions this season.
