Maybe Leicester will make the Europa league as that's the new target .

His under expectation tactics have worked a treat wonder when he will finally admit they could be champions

The obvious problem for Newcastle is they now have to push men forward which plays right into Leicester's hands, they can do what they do best with devastating effect hitting them on the counter attack.

I wonder if Leicester would have been in this position if Nigel Pearson was still the manager..................

Newcastle need to get something out of this half as I don't think Leicester will play as badly in the second half.

Interesting comment on the BBC live feed ..

Will someone from the BBC please be fair and publish the view (well, fact) that Leicester have had absolutely NOTHING go against them all season? They've been good, but very, VERY fortunate as well
and no, it wasn't me who sent it either

How anyone could begrudge a fairytale like this is beyond me youd have to be a real miserable so and so altogether

Although it looks cool and edgy online I guess to be against common opinion

Not necessarily.

There are several reasons why non-Leicester fans might not want to see them winning the league.

Well i'm certainly not cool and edgy, but I don't want them to win it. But we've been down that road before so that's as far as i'll go

They've been lucky with injuries but have mostly earned everything else. The form of others, for example, isn't down to luck on Leicester's part. They've got most of their points by beating the lesser sides consistently, something the so-called big clubs could learn from. And I'm sure many a "big" club have been equally as lucky with injuries wet it would have probably gone unnoticed because they were expected to challenge. Spurs have been as equally fortunate in terms of keeping their key players fit but haven't capitalised.

Leicester are top on merit.

Newcastle look like 11 footballers who met only this evening, and have been asked to play a football match.

Kudos to Rafa then - last time around they looked like 11 ballet dancers who had only just met and were asked to play a football match

True but he's due a bed game. Kante has been immense again.

Sissoko is about the only decent player on the pitch for Newcastle. Shelvey seems a shadow of the player I recall from Liverpool and Swansea.

Kante would be my player of the season.

Leicester look knackered, bless 'em.

Manager and players giving their all..........what I'd give to see other clubs taking note.

This is an event in PL history.

No matter what happens, the adventures of Leicester in the 2015/16 season will be spoken about for many years.
