Leicester has lost only three times in 30 games and is 12 points ahead of fourth-place Manchester City, which has a game in hand.
This late in the season, it isn’t too early to see how things will shake up for the top four. It took ten games to get one but now City have a defensive solidity that has produced six clean sheets in their last ten league games.

“Tottenham are still close, but it’s now a fight between two teams”, Koeman added.
“Of course they can still win it, but I don’t think they will”. It is shaking and waking up the established clubs from their lethargy.
This season was a chance to really make that step up for Arsene Wenger’s side, with Chelsea, Manchester City, and some of the other usual title challengers underperforming.
Kane’s brace brought him level with Jamie Vardy at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts with 19 goals. They don’t look like teams that are going to go on and win the title.
Should it happen it would be the greatest shock in the history of the league.

“It wasn’t one of our best performances but we showed a fantastic spirit”, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri said.
