The Foxes have been placed among the top seeds following their incredible Premier League title victory but the Italian is under no illusions as to their status in the draw
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes his side are the pot-one team their European counterparts will want to face in this season's Champions League.
Ranieri's men are among the top seeds for their debut season in Europe's leading club competition on the back of their sensational Premier League triumph last season.
That ranks them alongside the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and defending champions Real Madrid, and the former Chelsea and Juventus boss believes most of the teams from pots two, three and four would welcome being drawn to face Leicester at Thursday's draw in Monaco.
"I will go home and watch it alone. I'm very curious to know the names of the teams [Leicester will face]," Ranieri told a news conference ahead of Saturday's home game against Swansea City.
"We are new. All the other teams will want Leicester.
"Eight to 10 points could be good [enough to qualify from the group].
"I had a very good experience in the Champions League. I can give my knowledge to [the players] now it's important they play how they used to play."
