England's miracle club Leicester City are 90 minutes from sporting immortality as they prepare for a Sunday showdown at Old Trafford with Premier League standard-bearers Manchester United. The 5,000-1 outsiders, whose team cost less than o30 million ($43.8 million, 38.3 million euros) to assemble, need just three points to become champions for the first time in their 132-year history and complete one of the most inspirational stories in professional sport. But while manager Claudio Ranieri understands the excitement that his team have generated, he knows that their incredible journey -- which began with last season's narrow escape from relegation -- is not yet at an end. "We are fighting to turn this dream into a reality. But not yet. I see all the happiness around the city and that's great, but it's not finished," said the 64-year-old Italian, who has never won a top-flight title. "Sunday will be a very tough match. I have a lot of respect for (Louis) van Gaal, the players and Manchester United fans. I know very well it will be a very difficult match. But we go with the same mentality. "'Stay calm,' I tell the players. 'Stay hungry.' I told the players that everything is in our hands. If our strength is being solid and concentrated, then we must continue." After a sequence of nervy, narrow wins and a fraught 2-2 draw with West Ham United, the title swam into pin-sharp focus for Leicester when their breezy 4-0 victory over Swansea City was followed by second-place Tottenham Hotspur losing ground in a 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion. It means that victory at United will give Leicester the crown and they can claim the title this week even if they drop points, provided Tottenham do not better their result when they visit outgoing champions Chelsea on Monday. While Ranieri continues to proceed with caution, the city of Leicester is firmly on a title footing. - 'Postpone the party' - Local landmarks have been lit up blue in anticipation of the team's first major silverware since the 2000 League Cup, while the estimated 3,000 supporters making the trip north to Manchester will be rewarded with 'Forever Fearless' souvenir T-shirts produced by the club.
