Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri (right) will be on a flight when Tottenham and Chelsea play the Premier League’s potential decider.
“Three matches ago, I said in my mind Tottenham will win all the matches and we are very, very concentrated on this”.
The Foxes go into today’s match knowing that victory would clinch their first ever top-flight title following arguably the most remarkable season that English football has ever seen.
They are in good form, but as Slaven Bilic and his men showed, so are the teams around them.
Van Gaal’s own position as manager is also under scrutiny, although he said he has stayed involved in talks about planning for next season.
Reports suggest Van Gaal needs a place in the top four to secure himself a third and final season at United, and failure to beat Leicester would nearly certainly end all hope of that.
“So that is not a question for us”.
“We are fighting to make this dream a reality, but it isn’t yet”. We have to win every game that we have to play. “Valencia and Barcelona is also more or less a derby so it is a hard match”.
Van Gaal has a point but he has had plenty of time to implement his philosophy at United and results and performances have barely improved over the course of the campaign. The club wanted me to sign for three years, not me.
“I think it’s good for the Premier League and for football that not always the same teams are champions”. “They’ll know that though and we’ll just have to see what kind of team they come out with and we’ll deal with it on the day”, he told Leicester City’s official website.
Since Blackburn Rovers’s shock title win in 1995, the Premier League has been dominated by those fortunate few who have the history or finances – or in some cases both – to compete at the very top of the richest league in the world on a regular basis.
He praised the job done by Ranieri and his players but argued in some ways Leicester have an advantage over their bigger rivals.
“As for the players, I don’t know what they will do or if they will watch the game”.
“As a club of AZ or a smaller club like Leicester, it is more easy to buy players”. So it’s a big difference.

Leicester City extended their unbeaten run to seven games last weekend with their 4-0 demolition over Swansea. “They made a mistake if they didn’t arrange it. I considered if I win the league”.
