That West Ham game had me on edge the second half. No idea how Sunderland didn't score.

 

[Cassano]

What a clutch goal.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Leicester finally break through after a park the bus performance by Norwich

Chelsea with a good win at St. Mary's, won't be shocked if they finish above United

Big pressure on Arsenal tomorrow to get a result at OT, you expect Spurs to win while Leicester are now 5 points ahead

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't think they'll be able to keep this up.

I don't think they'll be able to keep this up.

Leicester? People have been saying that all season, but they keep on winning.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I don't think they'll be able to keep this up.

We are days away from March, with what 10 games left? It's theirs to lose at this point.

 

[MJG]

Leicester? People have been saying that all season, but they keep on winning.

They always seem to get the goal when they need it most.

 

[MJG]

Only think that concerns me about Leicester is that they rely heavily on the counter, so they may struggle against team that aim to park the bus and sit behind the ball, as we saw today. Having said that, they shown that they have the individual class to break through and get the goal when they need it. I don't expect their form to dip. They'll continue to win their share of games. Whether or not they win the league will depend on whether Spurs, Arsenal or City put together a stretch of 5 victories in a row, a feat I don't think Leicester could match.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

They beat fricking Norwich 1-0 at home after a late winner. Thats not exactly great.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

They beat fricking Norwich 1-0 at home after a late winner. Thats not exactly great.

You need those ugly wins, that's what it takes to win the league. You can't win comfortably every game, look at Barca's game against Las Palmas.

 

[MJG]

They beat fricking Norwich 1-0 at home after a late winner. Thats not exactly great.

3 points is 3 points

 

[Blender]

3 points is 3 points

Exactly. That's all that matters. You aren't going to crush teams with style every week, but when you're off if you can still scrape out the 3 points that is huge. I agree they likely won't be able to match a long winning streak if Arsenal, Man City, or Spurs go on one, but they should be able to reliably win games for the rest of the season.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The point is they win nearly nothing comfortably. I think they are due for a lot for more results like the one against Arsenal in the coming weeks than the one today. They've had a lot of good fortune with close results so far this season.

 

[Halladay]

Leicester was in last place on April 11th last year. Think about that.

 

[Peen]

kenedy is unreal

 

[Halladay]

Oh boy, what a sitter.

 

[maclean]

Poor defending there

 

[Plato]

United!

 

[Halladay]

Spurs and Arsenal behind, good for Leicester.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Arsenal in important games on the road

 

[Theon]

My boy Rashford

 

[maclean]

Oh dear lord!

 

[Halladay]

scores again.

 

[Plato]

I look forward to this thread post-match.
Should make for some lovely Sunday reading.
