Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has been impressed with the way Leicester City have sustained their title push this season.

Hiddink has nothing but respect for their exploits.

"They deserve a lot of credit for the way they have done it, especially when the pressure has come on from the outside world," he said.

"The pressure can cause the team to implode but they haven't. That's a very important quality. They have been fearless with how they handled the pressure and with how they have played as well.

"Of course the established clubs will desperately react, but with the means all the clubs are getting now they can be more competitive next season."
