Preamble by Simon Burnton :
Ding ding ding! Seconds out, round 37!
Right then, let’s not take anything for granted. Leicester have, after all, beaten Manchester City once already this season, and drawn with them in the League Cup (well, they lost but only on penalties).
And since Brendan Rodgers’ appointment Leicester have been transformed into the third best team in the Premier League. But since losing to Leicester at the King Power Stadium back in December Manchester City have taken 48 out of a possible 51 points. They last faltered at Newcastle back in January, 12 consecutive victories and an aggregate score of 27-3 ago.
If they win tonight and at Brighton on Sunday, they will be league champions and thoroughly deserving champions they will be. If they don’t - and eagle-eyed football fans might have noticed this - Liverpool lie in wait. Given the champions’ extraordinary form and ability a routine home win would appear likely, but pressure, nerves, stress and also Leicester might have an impact too.
