“It’s important for us to concentrate and keep our feet on the ground”, Ranieri was quoted as saying by Skysports on Monday.

“It is the first time in their lives that these players are doing something special”.
Arsenal are now gearing up for their trip to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday as they look to get back to winning ways following their goalless draw with Southampton in midweek. “There are a lot of super teams now”. “For us it is important to play and continue in this way because it is a unusual league”.
Kasper Schmeichel believes Leicester City’s lows could help them achieve the ultimate high with Premier League glory.
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has described the spirit of his men as the best he has ever known.
The trip to second-place City was seen as the biggest test to date of their title credentials and they passed it with flying colours. “Should they win the EPL we will be paying out £2 million plus”, said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
When Ranieri took over a Leicester team that came close to being relegated last season the former Chelsea manager’s mission was just keeping Leicester in the topflight.
“Pressure, it could be a problem, but it is important we stay calm…”
Ranieri’s Leicester face Arsenal at the Emirates next weekend and the Italian said all the pressure was now on the league’s big guns in this most unpredictable of seasons. “That is helping the spirit now”.
Meanwhile, second place Manchester City have made four changes from the side that started in the 1-0 victory over Sunderland the last time out.
“It just depends on what they can do from now until the end of the season”. But first we must just focus on Tottenham.
“Those who play in the other competitions spend a lot of energy and travel a lot and that’s not easy”.
Defender Robert Huth scored twice and Algerian magician Riyad Mahrez fired in his 14th league goal of the season as Leicester sent a clear message of intent to those who still doubt they have the quality to become champions.
Man City: Hart 6, Zabaleta 5, Otamendi 3, Demichelis 3, Kolarov 4, Fernandinho 5, Delph 5 (Iheanacho 52, 4), Toure 3 (Fernando 52, 4), Sterling 5, Silva 5 (Celina 76, 5), Aguero 6.

City responded, with Kasper Schmeichel keeping out a powerful header from substitute Fernando before Huth headed in Leicester’s third.
