“If Claudio Ranieri’s team did the unthinkable it would be a bad result for us, as we now stand to lose over £5m if Leicester win the league”.
Nicolas Otamendi went to ground for Leicester’s second, allowing Riyad Mahrez to score, while Martin Demichelis was beaten in the air by Robert Huth for the third. He hasn’t scored in seven games in a row, but a goal against Stoke City and two against Liverpool suggest that he is back to his best.
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been their unsung hero recently though, with some excellent perfomances earning him a nomination for Barclays Premier League player of the month. If they can emerge from this match and the following trip to Arsenal still ahead of the rest, then there will surely be every reason why they can lift the trophy on May 15. “This is a insane league and a insane season, I don’t want to make any predictions, but we are still alive and ready to fight again in the next game”.
Even as a forlorn looking Manule Pellegrini looked on from the dug-out, Ranieri continued to play the proverbial father figure on the touch-line constantly guiding the team in their bid for a convincing win.
Ranieri’s men have been the hit of the Premier League so far and after 24 rounds they are at the top of the table.

“However, it would be the greatest ever achievement in the history of the Premier League and who wouldn’t want to see that”.
Given Vardy’s brilliant run of form, it has been no surprise whatsoever in seeing a host of clubs express their interest in signing the England worldwide, while Leicester are understandably not keen on parting with their star striker anytime soon.

“We believe in the next match”. City’s home loss was compounded by Tottenham edging Watford 1-0 and replacing Manuel Pellegrini’s team in second place.
