Leicester City can win the Premier League by beating Manchester United on Sunday, but Riyad Mahrez does not believe the title race is over just yet. The Foxes enter the final stages of the Premier League as favourites despite starting as 5000/1 outsiders after a miraculous escape from relegation last season.Mahrez insists he and his team-mates are remaining calm as they approach the final three games, insisting they are just enjoying their fairytale moment and are refusing to let pressure ruin their moment. It is not done yet, Mahrez told the Daily Telegraph. We have to keep going and focus on every game because it is difficult. Simpson: Well do it without Vardy Danny Simpson is confident Leicester can overcome the suspension of Jamie Vardy. We dont need to be nervous. This is just a bonus for us. Nobody expected us to be where we are so this is a bonus. If we do it, we do it. If not, thats life, the Algerian, 25, added.Like I said, we are not a big club. We dont have to win the Premier League. Mahrez and Leicester can win the title with victory at Old Trafford on Sunday Despite their doubters, Leicester have been top of the table since late January and have rarely faltered in their charge for the title. They have lost only three games in the league and Mahrez has accredited this to the focus among the squad.I speak a lot with NGolo Kante and maybe January we started to talk about the league. We just said: Imagine if..., he added. Mahrez: The ultimate bargain? Riyad Mahrez is the cheapest PFA Player of the Year since the 1990s. But that was only for about 30 seconds and then we would say: No, lets stay focused and lets see. It was still a long way to go. Maybe 15 games to go.Nowadays, we are like: Its not done yet because Tottenham are very close to us. Speaking on Sky Sports News HQ, Chris Powell and Alan Smith compliment Riyad Mahrez Leicester City could win their first league title this Sunday when they travel to Old Trafford to play Manchester United, live on Sky Sports 1.

RICHMOND, Va. -- The race to get into the Chase for the Sprint Cup had little drama at Richmond.It had insults. Just not much drama.The underdog Jeremy Mayfields?win-and-in story never developed. The drivers who couldnt have problems had nagging but simple issues rather than full-fledged disasters. The drivers who needed to have great days and good luck had mediocre days and horrible luck, at best.Ryan Newman had about as bad a week as a driver could get. Saddled with a 15-point penalty earlier in the week, Newman knew early in Saturdays race that he probably wasnt going to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup field. Not with the way his car was driving. Not with the somewhat insignificant wholesale changes to the car the Richard Childress Racing team made throughout the race.He had gotten into the top 10 though before tangling with Tony Stewart.And then it was on. Outside the infield medical center, Newman ripped into Stewart, whom he felt (correctly) had cut across his nose on purpose.Him just being bipolar and having anger issues, Newman described as the cause of the wreck.Stewart didnt get too spicy in his responses. The last thing he needs is a war of words with a driver that at least used to be one of his good friends.This is Stewarts last Chase as the sun is about to set on his Cup career. He doesnt need to throw wood on the fire with Newman to distract him from his last chance to win a championship.Unfortunately for Stewart, the whos in, whos out story couldnt overshadow the Newman words.The Chase field was rarely in doubt throughout the race. With 200 laps to go, Newman was 34 points out of the cut, while Chris Buescher was up 16 on David Ragan for 30th.With 40 laps to go, Newman had cut that deficit in half to 17, but he was in the top 10. So he wasnt going to make up much more ground, and Jamie McMurray -- the driver he needed to catch -- was on pace to maintain his spot or at least not lose many. One position on the track is worth one point in NASCAR.Then came the wreck. And all that was left were the words. The drama was pretty much over.Oh, Kasey Kahne had a desperation shot on the green-white-checkered finish as he restarted fourth. But on old tires, he wasnt going to beat the much stronger Toyotas on the front row.That didnt keep McMurray from feeling nervous. He would have been out if Kahne had pulled off the upset.I was totally worried about him, McMurray said. Heading into the last restart, we had fresh tires and I was like, There is nothing I can do about Kasey Kahne right now. Im going to go out and just do the best I can, and if it works out, it works out.It worked out just fiine.dddddddddddd In the end, Newman finished 43 points off the cut -- maybe making it a little easier for him to stomach the 25 points in penalties during the year. Chase Elliott, who at one point had to pit for a cut tire, ended up with a 48-point cushion, and Austin Dillon was 46 points to the good.[Were] very lucky our tire cut down when it did, was able to get up against the wall and kind of get slowed down before I had a big hit, Elliott said. That was just luck, I guess, and how that worked out. ... Well take it.Buescher finished with a 21-point cushion on 30th even with having contact on a restart that resulted in a cut tire and a green-flag pit stop that at one point put him two laps down.We wouldnt want it to be easy, Buescher said. That definitely was a stressful day. ... It is just a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.I tried not to get too caught up into that early on. It wasnt until that last 50 or 60 laps wanting a little more information.Newman never had to ask for information even before his accident. With his chances to make the Chase dim, being mired between 11th and 20th and then have a speeding penalty, he knew he needed the others to have trouble.The funny thing about racing, though, is things can turn thanks to another drivers mistake or a broken part.Newman didnt have the funny thing happen. He had the racing thing, and he tangled with a driver that he knows drives by a certain code.How many times does he get to run into you before you say, Youve had enough? Stewart said.Stewart didnt have any qualms telling it the way he saw it. He fully admitted he cut into Newman, because if Newman was going to keep running into him, he wasnt going to get away with it.I remember when he has had a lot of stuff on the line and he gets the give and take, but he has never been really one to give back much, Newman said.Stewart wont be giving back much. He will be among 16 drivers doing a heck of a lot more taking than giving over the next 10 weeks.That could create tension. Make that, it should create tension.It should, hopefully, make the Chase better than its regular-season finale. The biggest names -- except for the concussed Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- in the sport are all in the Chase.Those drivers will have to put regular-season issues behind them. Stewart said there is no feud with Newman, that in his eyes, it was over.He is right. Its time for a new season. Let the drama begin. Because NASCAR fans are probably starving for it after Saturday night at Richmond. ' ' '
