Claudio Ranieri says his table-topping Leicester City team are enjoying a "magical season" and can handle the pressure of the title run-in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Foxes moved seven points clear of Tottenham with six games remaining thanks to a 1-0 win over Southampton.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I am very calm," said Ranieri. "We believe in what we are doing."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said "everybody" was waiting to see how they would react to Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Liverpool, adding: "We gave a very good answer."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leicester need 12 points from their final six games to become champions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ranieri said his squad know they may not get another shot at glory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We try to do our best. Other teams can win 3-0, 4-0. We have to fight to win 1-0. We must be focused in our way."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On this day a year ago, Leicester were bottom of the Premier League and seven points from safety, having lost 4-3 at Tottenham.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Striker Jamie Vardy had scored only once in six months and the Foxes has lost 18 out of 29 league games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leicester have played 41 Premier League games since - winning 27, drawing 10 and losing just four to complete a remarkable turnaround in fortune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leicester owner and chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha travelled from his native Thailand to watch the win over Southampton on the eve of his birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To celebrate his big day and thank Leicester's fans for their support, the club gave away a free doughnut and bottle of beer to every ticket holder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We sung 'Happy Birthday' to him in the dressing room before the match and I asked the players to give him a good present, three points," said Ranieri.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Srivaddhanaprabha and his party flew off the King Power Stadium in a helicopter after the final whistle - but not before making sure a box of doughnuts was on board.</div>
