Could this Premier League record holder spur Arsenal onto the league title?

“We must continue to build to target, in the next three or four years, the top spots in the Premier League and fighting for the Europa League”.

After a stunning 3-1 display against City over the weekend, Jamie Vardy has put pen to paper on a new deal with Leicester City.

Sandro Di Michele, Head of PR at Sky Bet, said: “It’s great to see a Leicester City supporter having a speculative bet in August that is now a serious runner in February”.

In the team vote, Barcelona is second to Leicester after beating Levante 2-0 to move three points clear at the summit of the Spanish league with a game in hand on second-place Atletico Madrid. One would naturally assume this would disrupt routine, but not for Tottenham who hold one of the best defensive records this season.

The 29-year-old added: “You hear some players say that it’s just a job for them but for me it is nothing like that”.

Along with taking unnecessary complexity out of his early approach with the Leicester squad, Ranieri prescribed plenty of rest to combat the rigours of a Premier League season.

Gary Lineker has mocked Arsenal’s capture of a former Leicester scout who was widely credited with identifying Riyad Mahrez – by suggesting the Gunners signed up the wrong man. Leicester played better than our team. “We’ll just take every game as it comes, knuckle down and hopefully keep picking points up”.

After a season at Quimper, he moved onto Le Havre FC – spurning a move to PSG’s reserves – a club with a fine reputation for developing footballers, where he also crossed paths with current Leicester team-mate Kante when the latter was at US Boulogne according to Mezahi.

Speaking exclusively to 888sport, Gilberto said: “I think Arsenal can win the league but that depends how well they do in the crucial games”. The feat is remarkable given that the tally equals the combined goals scored by Chelsea and Manchester United after 25 games. We know it’s a insane league and we have to try.

However, they do have one big boost according to London 24, who report that powerful and commanding centre back Vincent Kompany is set to return to the first-team fold for the fixture against Spurs, which would solidify the City defence.

Tactically, the rest are making it up as they go along – just as the bookmakers are now doing with their title projections.

Claudio Ranieri aims to ensure that Leicester's successful season is not a one-off
