Ranieri: This is history, but I am not nervous

Claudio Ranieri is not suffering from nerves despite Leicester City being one win away from clinching a historic Premier League title.

Second-placed Tottenham failed to keep pace with Leicester last weekend, with a 1-1 draw at home to West Brom meaning the gap to the summit stands at seven points with three matches remaining.

Ranieri's team travel to the home of 13-time champions Manchester United on Sunday knowing that victory would be enough to secure the trophy, though a defeat for Tottenham at Chelsea on Monday would also be sufficient.

"You know me, I'm a pragmatic man and I need three points more and we want to do this. I'm not nervous. I think only of Manchester," said Ranieri.

"We know very well that now is a real chance to win the title. Next season, you never know what will happen. This is unbelievable. This is history.

"I am relaxed because I watch my players. They train well, enjoy and help each other. It's important to prepare well.

"We are fighting to make this dream a reality, but it's not yet. I can understand all the happiness around the city, but that's the fans – we have to work."

While manager of Chelsea between 2000 and 2004, Ranieri developed a reputation for frequently changing his starting line-up, earning the nickname 'The Tinkerman'.

Ranieri said: "I have a lot of choice. I have 24 players. Maybe I'll change them all – 'The Tinkerman' never changes his ways!"
