Claudio Ranieri says "nobody wants to win the Premier League" after watching his Leicester City side draw 0-0 with Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The Foxes were beaten 1-0 at Liverpool on Saturday but bounced back with a good performance and now only trail leaders Arsenal on goal difference.
Leicester have been the division's surprise package, with their form and the inconsistency of the sides around them leaving the title race wide open, much to Ranieri's surprise.
"I think we made a very good match," Ranieri told BT Sport. "It was difficult. We played well, we created some chances. I wanted to see how my players responded after the Liverpool defeat and they responded well.
"Every match is difficult for us. This league is very crazy...nobody wants to win the league. It's very strange.
"We're the basement and the other teams are a villa with a swimming pool. It's not easy for us, but we want to fight with everybody.
"It's a miracle what we're doing. I'd love this to continue, but it's not easy. I'd like my players to continue to fight like today. It's fantastic.
"I can only say well done to our players and our fans are unbelievable, they support us and they push us."
Leicester host Bournemouth on January 2 before back-to-back matches against Tottenham in the FA Cup and the league.
