Hey I got that wrong, I am man enough to admit that!
City do have a good squad of players, especially going forward, but there is questions at the back about them. |

Big congrats to Northampton for gaining promotion to League 1. My dads side of the family come from there so used to spend quite a lot of time when a nipper at the old stadium.

Can see why Everton fans get frustrated
Looked good in attack which meant Gomes had to be in top form but shaky at the back which cost them a goal. |

How many clean sheets have they kept, say, compared to other teams?

Tellingly, all the teams mentioned have scored 55 or more goals, except United who have scored fewer than 40.

We are the new "1-0 to the Arsenal", it is either that or another 0-0, we sure love low scoring games!
Or rather LvG does! |

Not a bad day to be a Leicester fan really; you win and you're almost over the line as champs, you lose and Aston Villa get relegated

Has anyone seen the odds for this match?
Leicester to win against Sunderland are currently priced at 5/4. So wait the league leaders, currently 7 points clear in one of Europe's top leagues, are ODDS AGAINST, to beat a relegation side?? According to a calculator those odds give Leicester around a 45% of winning today. Would Barcelona ever be odds against to beat a relegation side in Spain? Spurs are EVENS to beat Man United, shorter than what Leicester are (i.e. the bookies think that's more likely), which I think is utterly crazy. Its more likely that Leicester are going to extend their lead today as oppose to it being cut. |

Leicester City have had a great season but they're not quite as bankable as Barca just yet.
I very much hope they win but I've got this one down as a draw today. |

Leicester are 5/4 to win today and evens to beat West Ham next week.
An accumulator puts that at 7/2. So according to an odds calculator that gives them a 22% chance of getting 6 points from their next two games. I'd say that should more than 50%. They're top for a reason and are running away with it. |

Today I shall mainly be rooting for Sunderland, purely to make the battle at the top and bottom a little more interesting. It should be a pretty routine Leicester win, though, I would've thought.

I think they can win both. West ham have got a cup game against Man Utd mid week which should take the legs out of them a little.

If Leicester win the title I wonder if there will be a statue of ranieri outside the grounds. Obviously manager of the year is sorted.

What do people think Leicester chances of staying in the top 6 next season? Yeah they'll lose Kante and Mahrez but being the league champions and in the CL surely if they spend well its realistic?
There's an assumption they'll slide down the table but I think they can remain a top 6 side for a few years if they buy well. |

Sunderland are not playing as though the outcome of this match has been agreed in advance. They do not appear to have been informed they are going to lose.
