Leicester City will look to keep their lead over Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the English Premier League 2015-16 title race in Week 32 of competition this weekend.
Leicester City, who have been the most surprising and overachieving team this season, will host Southampton in a crucial match on Sunday at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes are currently on top of the EPL table with 66 points from 19 wins, nine draws and three defeats. They are currently five points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and 11 points clear of Arsenal with seven games left to play.
Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri has been saying all season long that they are not feeling any pressure because nobody expected them to win the league this year. Heading into the big game against Southampton, Ranieri remained firm on his previous stance.
"We know everyone wants to beat us but we know everything is in our hands and we want to continue," Ranieri told reporters via Premier League's official website. "There isn't pressure. The pressure was in the beginning when we had to be safe but after this, we are enjoying it. We are on a good run."
Ranieri admitted, though, that winning against Southampton will not be easy as they have not won against them in their last eight top-flight games. Southampton are also determined to win to solidify their grip on the seventh spot in the EPL table.
Meanwhile, Tottenham and Arsenal are both looking for a win coupled by a defeat for the Foxes to keep their title hopes alive. Tottenham will go up against Liverpool, while Arsenal will face Watford on Saturday.
