As funny as it may sound to some, the 40-point mark is the goal for Claudio Ranieri's Leicester City.
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri reiterated the aim for this season is for the Premier League champions to avoid relegation.
As funny as it may sound to some, that is the goal for Ranieri and his side, almost three months on from their Premier League triumph - one of the greatest achievements in sporting history.
Leicester emerged from the clutches of relegation in 2014-15 to the summit of England's top flight in the space of 12 months, having been ranked 5000-1 outsiders for the title last term, but Ranieri insisted that is firmly in the past following Saturday's season-opening 2-1 defeat at newly-promoted Hull City.
