Leicester could have clinched the trophy for the first time had they beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford on Super Sunday, but instead were held to a 1-1 draw.

The Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri will not be able to watch Chelsea v Spurs because he will be flying home from Italy.

But midfielder Marc Albrighton said: "We have got to watch it. I don't think we can ignore this one.

The Leicester players will watch MNF, but Claudio Ranieri won't see the game

"I didn't watch last week but when there is a chance to win the league, like this week, we have all got to watch it and I think we will probably spend the night all together."

He said: "I would like to watch the match, but I am on a flight back from Italy, so it's difficult for me to watch the match.

"Maybe when I land I will know the result. Yes, really.

"For us it's important to continue to dream and continue to work. Three matches ago, I said in my mind Tottenham will win all the matches and we are very, very concentrated on this."
