Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri believes it is more likely that aliens will land in London than that the Foxes will defend their Premier League title.
The Italian expects Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City to mount strong challenges after they all faltered last season.
Leicester go to Hull on Saturday to start the defence of the shock league crown they won last season, by a runaway 10 points, after they were 5,000-1 to win it at the beginning of the campaign.
But Ranieri, who signed a new contract until 2020 on Wednesday, has already dismissed their chances of retaining the title and believes extraterrestrials arriving in the capital is more likely.
