City news: League title is ours if we can beat Dons, says Ginnetta
Leicester City Supporters Club chairman Cliff Ginnetta insisted today: "Win at MK Dons on Saturday – and it's all over!"
Ginnetta believes victory for City – and a record-equalling 11th away win – will assure Nigel Pearson's side of the League One title.

He said: "Victory puts us 15 points clear of the Dons and there's no way they will catch us then. I think they will then be focusing on second place."
City will be backed by their biggest away following for more than a year when 4,400 fans travel to the Stadium MK.
In October 2008, the Blue Army totalled 6,200 supporters for the Carling Cup tie at Chelsea.
City also took 5,000 to Barnsley when they secured their Championship status in 2007.
Ginnetta said: "There are nine coaches going from the club because it's a relatively short distance, but we will be on the road in force and it's going to be a great day. I'm sure we will get the victory. If we do, it's all over."
Midfielder Bruno Berner says the Blue Army have been City's "12th man" during their impressive climb to the League One summit.
He said: "We always celebrate with the fans when we win because we love them. We all appreciate their efforts.
"We say the crowd is our 12th man and it could be like a home game at MK Dons. We are very pleased with our fans."
Berner said City's spirited response to being a man down at Bristol Rovers last weekend made him very proud.
The 31-year-old Swiss international said: "We had a real scrap against Hartlepool which we only drew, so it was a big win over Bristol Rovers, especially after the sending-off of Jack Hobbs. Those were massive points."
The win over Rovers established a new club record of 20 games unbeaten and Berner added: "There is no reason to stop anything and the victory last week gives us even more spirit."
Berner was not involved in the first meeting with MK Dons, which City won 2-0 on the opening day of the campaign in August.
He said: "You have to remember they were promoted from League Two. They have had a fantastic season and respect to them."
City have a 12-point cushion over MK Dons with Peterborough a further 13 points adrift.
Berner said: "It looks like the table is sorting itself out. We are focusing on winning this game."
Berner has been restored to the side in a midfield role for City's last two matches.
He has also featured at left-back and centre-back this season and said: "I'm just so hungry to play every week and I don't care where."

“The Don's will still have 45 points to play for if City win. People have been telling me it's in the bag since October; the team have been fantastic all season, but until the points lead is more than points available I won't be celebrating.”
