Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri insists that despite sitting at the top of the Premier League table, he is only focused on the upcoming game against Newcastle United.

The Foxes will welcome relegation candidate Newcastle to the King Power Stadium next Monday and even though they are sitting five points clear at the top of the standings, all attention is on the visit of the Magpies rather than looking ahead to a potential title.

"The key of the season was from the beginning when there was a good link, and a good feeling between me and the players, the fans, the staff and the owners," said Ranieri after the win 1-0 over Watford on Saturday.

"The target was to save the team, and it is important that you are reminded what our target was. When we got to 39 points at the end of the first part of the season I said 'I want to improve. Now I want to do 40'.

"When I arrive at 79, maybe I want to arrive at 80, 81. I don't know? But now our focus is on Newcastle."
