Leicester boss Shakespeare: Let's hope the bookies have got it wrong again!

Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare is intent on again proving the bookmakers wrong in their clash against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Leicester host Atleti in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals tonight and the Foxes are undoubtedly underdogs heading into the game.

Most bookies don't rate Leicester's chances, pricing Atleti at 11/10 on to win, but Foxes boss Shakespeare is intent on proving the doubters wrong by guiding his side to triumph over the Spanish giants, influenced by the club's remarkable 5000-1 Premier League title triumph last term.

Shakespeare said: "My players look sharp and ready to go.

"The bookies have got it wrong before so let's hope they've got it wrong again.

"We know we start as underdogs but we're quite comfortable with that.

"Let's hope we can earn our supporters a few bob and get through."
