Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri and Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane win the Premier League Manager of the Month and Player of the Month awards respectively.

Ranieri, who scooped the manager's award in November, is four wins away from guiding his Leicester team to the league title.

The Foxes went unbeaten in March, winning three of their fixtures, including games against Watford, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, and recorded one draw.

Ranieri's side currently have a seven-point lead at the top of the table with six games left to play.

Meanwhile, Kane, who is trying to help Tottenham upset Leicester's title charge, has been awarded for his impressive display in March.

The England international scored five goals last month in games against Aston Villa, Bournemouth and North London rivals Arsenal, .

Kane, who is the league's top scorer on 22 goals, has played a major role in pushing Spurs to second in the standings, four points above the Gunners.

The striker carried his scoring streak into April by netting an equaliser against Liverpool last weekend, and he will hope to find the back of the net in Sunday's clash against Manchester United at White Hart Lane.
