Putting away the lower table teams better than any of the traditional big clubs this season. If spurs drop points tomorrow i'd feel very confident they'll win the title.
Incredible story. |

Well done Leicester. Wondered if Palace would be a potential banana skin for them today, but glad they came through it with the win.

Spurs will go out tomorrow knowing they have to beat Bournemouth just to stay five points behind. It's extraordinary how Leicester seem to be closing this out - it reminds me of way Ferguson's United teams used to just stride nervelessly and inexorably towards the title in so many seasons. Another similarity is the way it almost doesn't seem to matter how well Leicester play over the whole 90 minutes because they can get a goal at any moment and grind it out until the final whistle. |

Leicester are being guided by a very fine underrated manager. Ranieri makes subtle adjustments tactically and makes shrewd substitutions. He exudes a calm which must have an excellent affect on his team.

Could be a banana skin for Spurs tomorrow, playing a Bournemouth side who are safe and playing for fun.

If Sunderland win tomorrow Crystal Palace will be five points from relegation.
Should they be worried? |

I believe i heard someone say today Leicester are playing first, before Spurs, in 4/5 of the next games (including this one) . That puts even more pressure on Spurs each game. The odds on Leicester must be shortening considerably.

Well Leicester's unbelievable season just goes on and on and on, wow.
They are on course now to really be the biggest shock Champions ever in English football history. Big win for Norwich as well, basically whomever gets beat in the Newcastle v Sunderland match can start to think about joining Villa in The Championship. |

Four in the last five for Leicester.

But I want Leicester win it. They are staying the course so well we're not even mentioning the fact that top four is almost guaranteed for them now.... |

I think Leicester will probably need four more wins. Win their home games and they'll be champs. Their away form is amazing though, they'll probably win them all. |

Jeff Stelling trying to give the mathematics for how Arsenal can still win the title
![]() he's taking the piss surely This has to be Wengers last season surely, i think this has to be his worst season in charge imo, they should have been odds on favourites by now to win the league under the circumstances |

Think Leicester will win the title with three games to spare. They may even just need a point going to Old Trafford. Quote:

Mahrez and Vardy would be ill-advised to move when at the very least Leicester will be playing CL footie. |

We can all point to how the usual suspects have been disappointing in one or more ways, but Leicester have exuded a calm confidence in their ability from the start of the season. They are up there on merit, not simply by default.
