Manchester: Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri will not watch Tottenham Hotspur’s pivotal meeting with Chelsea because he is flying home to Italy to take his 96-year-old mother out for lunch. Following their 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Sunday, Leicester will be crowned champions for the first time in their 132-year history if second-place Tottenham fail to win at Ranieri’s former club Chelsea today.
