Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola would have struggled to replicate Brendan Rodgers' work at Leicester City.
Both the Liverpool and Manchester City manager have won the Premier League, Champions League and Bundesliga in their managerial careers alongside a host of other titles including in La Liga for the latter.
They are two coaches regularly revered as the world's best but Merson, speaking on Sky Sports, has claimed neither would have been able to take Leicester to the heights Rodgers has managed.
After the Foxes' 2-0 win at Chelsea on Tuesday night, the pundit simply said: "I don't see Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp being able to do what Brendan Rodgers has done with Leicester."
That victory propelled Leicester to the top of the Premier League table with Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admitting his side were "beaten by the better team".
Former Liverpool star and pundit Jamie Redknapp also said he believes Leicester are title contenders this season, claiming "anything is possible".
Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp added: "Leicester had so much quality in their team. I spoke about them being workmanlike, in the nicest possible way.
"They were streetwise. They knew how to score, how to make opportunities, they defended for their lives.
"They outworked Chelsea and that should never happen in a football game. But we’ll talk about Chelsea later. I love what I see from Leicester."
