Odd scenes at the end of that match at Goodison with some Arsenal fans holding up an anti-Wenger banner and other Arsenal fans seemingly squaring up to them.

I think because they have seen this sort of thing time after time, some are probably fed up, and want a change.

Indeed, but the kerfuffle maybe shows that not all Arsenal fans share that view.
Have to admire the way Ranieri has this Leicester team playing almost nervelessly at such a crucial stage of the season. Long way to go in this match but impressively smooth start by Leicester.
Drinkwater playing as you might expect for someone celebrating his call up to his national squad..

I don't know, Leicester look a bit flat to me.
They have crafted some nice moments of approach play but not much in the way of clear-cut chances.
Palace are beginning to threaten now; Zaha should have done better with the chance he had a moment ago.
And Mahrez scores for Leicester
Here we go again 
The champions elect.................still absolutely strange saying that when you think of Leicester

Leicester picked a good time to score there, having the best of the match so far but Palace were starting to get back in it.
Souaré deservedly well on the way to getting himself sent off. I may be old fashioned but I prefer left backs who can tackle.
Fabregas scores a screamer.

I find Fuchs to be a curious player: at times he is very good, but at other times he is awful and this seems to be in every match. All that varies from one game to another is the balance between the good and the awful. He is the same when taking free kicks.

But why say it at all? Totally unnecessary and it just looks like you're having a deliberate dig.
Drinkwater outshining Kante today - yes, he has been that good and Kante has had, for him, the equivalent of a bit of a breather this game.

Palace look the more likely to score at the moment.
Ranieri's response to Palace pressure? Okazaki off and another striker comes on Ulloa
Huth literally has his shirt ripped off him over his head in the Palace penalty area - nothing given by the officials.

Failed to notice Robert Huth literally having the shirt taken off his back at the last Leicester corner.

I don't think I have ever seen that before.
Leicester, Tottenham and West Ham are making the most of this crazy season and well deserved too as they have been playing some great football when it matters.
It will be interesting to see next season who, out of Chelsea, Man Utd, and Liverpool can regain a top four finish.
