Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri continues to play down title talk

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri still refuses to entertain the idea of his team winning the Premier League title.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is still refusing to discuss the possibility of winning the Premier League title, despite his team being eight points clear.

The Foxes stretched their lead at the top of the table on Saturday afternoon by sealing a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Despite being favourites for the crown, Ranieri is more focused on potentially playing Champions League football next season.

"It sounds good, our fans are singing a very good song about that but we are to stay calm because the Premier League is the same as every match, you don't know what will happen," BBC Sport quotes Ranieri as saying.

"We have to continue to push a lot because the Champions League is very close to us. Maybe in the next two matches I can say something more. Concentration is very important for us. Now the others have to do something.

"I think now we are close to achieving the Champions League, that is a great achievement, step by step. I'm not dreaming [of the title], I make a comparison between the race for the title, and each match. You don't know what will happen until the end."

Leicester have just seven games left in their season.
