Everton's Ronald Koeman plays down Leicester City title comparisons

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has played down suggestions his side could replicate Leicester City's Premier League title win this season.

Everton have made an impressive start under Koeman since he replaced Roberto Martinez in the summer, with the club second in the table on 13 points after five matches.

Leicester staged a remarkable title win in 2015-16, but Koeman does not think there will be a repeat of the club's shock success.

Koeman said: "Last year no one expected Leicester to win. It will not happen again.

"You like high expectation from everybody because it means we are doing well.
