Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri insists that he is not worried about the prospect of being caught by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League title race.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has insisted that his side are not worried about the prospect of being caught by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League title race.

The Foxes gave a glimmer of hope to Spurs by dropping points in a 2-2 draw with West Ham United this afternoon, although the gap between the top two is still eight points.

Tottenham would close that to five with victory over Stoke City on Monday night, but Ranieri insists that the pressure is off his side after they began the season as relegation favourites.

"Never we are worried. We were worried at the beginning of the season to achieve 40 points," he told reporters.

"Now we enjoy, I never speak with my players about the gap, blah, blah, blah. Everything is in our hands. If we fight and win it's okay.

"If the other team, it could be Tottenham or Arsenal, is better than us and win the title, well done. We are doing the maximum. If there is another team who play better and win more than us, well done to them."

Leicester are now unbeaten in their last eight league matches, winning six of those without conceding a goal.
