Brendan Rodgers has played down Leicester City's chances of breaking into the top-four.

The Foxes were in scintillating form in Sunday's 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle United.

The win leaves the 2016 Premier League title winners in third place, but Rodgers has cooled expectations of his side.

"It's very early in the season," said the Northern Irishman.

"We know it's a big ask because of all the other clubs that have been regulars there. We are only really focusing on how we play, looking at our performance levels."
