Jeff Schlupp says Claudio Ranieri’s ‘bell’ keeps Leicester grounded

Leicester winger Jeff Schlupp insists boss Claudio Ranieri has managed to keep the table toppers grounded, despite the Premier League winning post looming nearer.

The Foxes entertain Newcastle tonight after Tottenham cut the gap at the top to two points with their win at Aston Villa yesterday, with the top two looking increasingly like the only challengers for the title in the run-in.

Ranieri has repeatedly refused to talk about the Foxes’ chances of winning the league and Schlupp believes the Italian’s influence has been key.
