We can not allow that they are the champions this weekend at Old Trafford.

The trip to Old Trafford is the first of three opportunities to claim the required victory as Leicester has a seven-point lead over Tottenham. The big teams haven’t shown the consistency you’d expect while the smaller teams have done just that, from August to April. United started very well and it was hard for us to restart.
Arthur Gomersall, 73, said: “I think Leicester should have pinched that but I’d have taken a point to begin with.
We don’t spoil the party, only postpone it a little bit”.
With more than 100 journalists from across the world present at his pre-match media conference, Ranieri admitted: “There is a lot of interest in our story but it is important to finish the story, like in an American movie”. The Dutchman cited a lack of titles among his squad, although the facts do not back up his assertion. A lightning-quick striker who was playing semi-pro soccer just five years ago, Vardy set a new Premier League record by scoring in 11 consecutive games.
“I don’t tell them to stay calm”, he said.
“I don’t think Matteo Darmian is used to being a champion and David De Gea was never champion, so I don’t agree with the way you make the question”.
United could have grabbed a late victor but Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel was quick off his line to foil the advancing Memphis Depay. Rooney, Carrick, they have been the champions once, or maybe a few times.
Ranieri asked for clauses of his own, granting him incentives if the club qualified for the Europa League, the Champions League or won the English Premier League.
