Leicester City manager Dean Smith says he won't be tracking what unfolds at Goodison Park as his side chase Everton in the hunt for survival.
The Foxes are two points behind the Blues as they sit in the drop zone going into the final game of the season on Sunday. Both clubs are on home territory for the Premier League curtain-closer but the former Norwich and Aston Villa boss needs to overcome West Ham and Bournemouth run-out winners on Merseyside.
Leeds United are also in the relegation battle as three clubs can beat the drop on Sunday. However, the Leicester manager reiterated the focus is on what unfolds at the King Power Stadium.

“No, not at all, I don’t need to,” he said in his pre-match press conference As I say, I will concentrate on our game and be fully immersed into our game and the tactics of our game to make any changes needed to try and win the game.
"What happens elsewhere I’ll know after the final whistle. It’s a similar message sent to the players on the pitch, with full concentration on getting all three points and not thinking of what could be happening elsewhere."
"We just have to concentrate on our own game. It's simplistic, we have to win, it doesn't matter what is going on at other ground. Just win," he added.
“Whatever else is going on elsewhere we are not in control of. But we have seen how quickly things can change around in the last 15 minutes of games, whether it is this season or previous seasons. We win our games and then see where it goes.
“We can only control what we can do. We have to control our performance, help your team-mates out and go and get a good performance and a win.
"If we do our part we are looking at other people to help us, but we have to make sure we concentrate on what we do. It's quite a simple message really and the lads have trained well so far."
