Leicester defender Maguire sets points target for Europe

Leicester City defender Harry Maguire believes they're capable of achieving Europa League qualification.

Maguire believes they need seven points from their last three games if they are to secure Europa League football for next season.

Leicester face a tough run in with Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in their final three games, and England defender Maguire said: “We set ourselves a very difficult task with a bad run in January and February.

“We have left ourselves with a very hard run in – three of the top six to play, two at home. But we are not writing it off.

“We probably need seven points from the three games now to even challenge for seventh with Watford having a game in hand and a point ahead.

“We know it's going to be tough, but we fancy our chances at home against anyone so let's see what happens."
