The Foxes will be crowned champions if Tottenham Hotspur, who trail them by eight points, fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a ground where they have not won since 1990, on Monday. But, speaking after Leicester missed out on the victory against Manchester United that would have sealed the title on Sunday, Ranieri said he will be flying back from Italy when the game kicks off. "I'd like to watch the match tomorrow, but I think I'm on a flight back from Italy so it's difficult for me to watch the match," Ranieri said after the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. "My mother is 96 years old and I would like to have a lunch with her. I will be the last man in England to know," Ranieri added. "Three matches ago I said, in my mind Tottenham will win all the matches. Look, for us it's important to continue to dream." Ranieri thought the draw with United was a fair result. "United started very very well, moved the ball very well, and it was very difficult for us to restart and make something good," he said.
