LONDON (Reuters) - Former England and Leicester City great Gordon Banks says he would not put any money on his old club avoiding relegation from the Premier League this season.

The 76-year-old, England's goalkeeper when they won the World Cup on home soil in 1966, believes promoted City will find life difficult as they return to the top flight for the first time in a decade.
