City do have a good squad of players, especially going forward, but there is questions at the back about them.”

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

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.

Martinez has to go even if they win the cup, results not good enough considering the players he has, he makes a senior player apologize to the squad for telling the truth, yet does nothing to a player saying he wants to leave.

Well I think that we have the most in the league (due to a few too many 0-0's), followed by Spurs, so City would be behind in that regard.

United have 15 clean sheets, Arsenal and City with 14, Leicester have 13.

Spurs have 11 but also the fewest goals conceeded overall.

Ahh that was what I was getting confused with in my mind in regards to Spurs, thanks for clearing that up.

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

Yeah, that's because we're dogsh*t.

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.

A win and a draw would be a good return from two tough games. I expect Spurs to drop a few more points between now and the end of the season.

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.

Unimpressive start by Leicester. Midfield look strangers to each other so far. Come on guys show some brains !

I'm not sure they will lose kante and mahrez. Obviously with CL its gonna put the lot more on them so it'll depend on how many players they bring in and the quality of the players. Them being in the CL will make them more attractive to top players.
