Excellent point for Leicester.

Never thought I'd say this but part of me hopes Spurs win tomorrow so Leicester can wrap it up in front of their own support next week.

Bad result for United, making it less likely they will squeeze into the Champions League positions. OTOH, making it less likely Van Gaal will be around next season.

So this is it.

This is the day of destiny for Leicester City Football Club.

A club which was playing in League One seven seasons ago and the Championship only two seasons ago.

A club which was staring relegation back to the Championship in the face roughly this time last year.

A club whose last major honour was the League Cup back in 2000.

This hitherto insignificant club from an insignificant city in the East Midlands could be crowned the best team in the land - above sides who dwarf them in terms of intrinsic value - in three hours' time.

They've already written a footballing fairy tale and victory at Man Utd will complete the final paragraph.
Looks like you'll have to type this out again now for the game against Everton.

Don't think so, tomorrow's match should sort things out.

Plus it'll upset Chelsea, which is always a bonus.

Very interesting times ahead for Man United. I see both Jose and Ibra joining forces again to battle against their joint enemy PepG.

For those fretting about whether Fellaini gets punished I wouldn't worry if I were you, Sky will see to it that he is by replaying it continuously until something is done.

We'll ignore the fact that it was retaliation.

It would be box office stuff!

Enough reason for the club to make it happen.

I don't think it would be bad for shifting season tickets either since the club has had a very sluggish response for renewals so far.

Tbf, Huth only wanted to run his fingers through his hair, the gentle wee lamb that he is.

And as they battle with each other they will leave the field open for yet another Leicester title

Robert Huth likes being a little dirty. He's lucky to get an elbow. When he stamped on Suárez a couple seasons ago he was lucky to get away bite-free.

You can take the defender out of Stoke...

Yes I cant think of anytime when a point for Leicester at Old Trafford would have been a bad result and I think they have done the job.
The home game against the Everton would be the perfect way to do it, but it will still be a carnival if Spurs slip up.

Must admit I thought Southampton v Man City was a bit of a nothing game with Man City well placed to clinch the last Champions League place - but Southampton could get themselves into that Europa League place if they win their remaining matches.

If Fellaini gets a charge (more than likely) then so should Huth for playing his part in the foul.

I still think Spurs will win tomorrow can't see Chelsea suddenly coming out of holiday mode.

Also think Southampton could win this game coming up

Stoke, nah, not crediting them with that. Huth was a dirty so and so back in his Chelsea days, well before he went to Stoke. And he was nowhere near as effective as he has been for Leicester, much to my surprise.

Otamendi proving what a complete liability he is against pacey attacks once again.

Perhaps the race for that last Champions League place isn't as much of a foregone conclusion as it seemed.
