Leicesters' final 3 games of the season

Man United will be more scared of Leicester coming to them, than Leicester will be of going to Old Trafford.
Robert Mythinez has been in this country for over 20 years and he still hasn't worked out a Spanish way of playing football week in and out in England doesn't work, they try their best to build up from the back but get sucker punched almost every game, his Wigan and Everton defences have been so poor, not a game to worry about. Chelsea will probably play the kids on the last day of the season and the first teamers will have little motivation considereing they'll probably e around 8th with nothing to play for.

No European football and all winnable game, the only thing that can stop Leicester is Leicester.

yes,only Leicester can stop Leicester .

I make it a finish of Leic 74 ,Spurs 72, Arsenal 72 ,City 68.

Leic will bound to trip up either against Swansea,Sunderland or West Ham .

West Ham have some seriously difficult fixtures ,so do Man Utd

City 68 max

Keep backing Leicester every match ..... league leaders & always overpriced.

5/4 tonight away at Watford??? 13/8 earlier in the day

come on guys, we see these sort of mug front runners every day in horse racing, they sprint a few lengths clear and everyone jizzes in their pants, but 99 percent of the time they get beat, what makes you think leicester will be any different.

Leicester are not a horse

It's a fact Mythinez teams are poor defensively, there were calls for him to be Arsenal's next manager at one point, thanks but no thanks. And King of Dildo's, stop posting your Welsh related shyte, nobodies interested. Kind regards.

paid gwrando ar y twpsyn mes k.o.d

Tottenham have no chance

Along with everybody else
its a tough league to win these days
And thats the way it should be
english football going back to what its always been
amen to that

Next season will just revert to how it's been in previous years, City/Chelsea/United are all getting better managers and Arsenal live in the top 4. As much as it would be refreshing to see Leicester win, the only thing it will do for English football is bring the league closer to losing it's 4th Champions League spot. This season is a one off.

lowest points total for 40 years

Leicester look to have the easier fixtures left.......should piss it from here
if it was any of the other teams with that lead and them fixtures prices would be something like
city 1.3
arsenal 1.45
spurs 1.65

disagree.....from Christmas last year Leicester have been in this kind of form and wiv the new tv money lots of other clubs can challenge for top players

The Leicester fan that cashed out for £29,000 from a £20 bet.  Em well done but if you had waited until this evening i'm sure they would have offered you a further £10.000.  Still who was to know?

Oh didnt we all enjoy it when manu, chels and lfc were kings of europe?
Newsflash guys
it was sh!te
The truth of the matter is that leicester are playing the exact same brand of football that fergus, jose and rafa employed
Solid defence and counter attacks
The sainted man utd, lfc and chels never did progress did they?
Got sort of left behind by pep and look where they are now?
The plebs at ot harking back to the fergus era of 'attacking football' while their continental coach tries to drag them into the 21st
century.
LFC running down a blind alley with klipty klop
Chels are about to embark at what will probably be their last ever meaningful ucl campaign as captn,leader,ledge is soon to depart.
The likes of leicester, stoke, southampton, west ham, everton arent going away guys
The simple truth is that the epl is such a taxing competition that any addition of euro fixtures is going to hamstring you
I would posit that while leicester will struggle along with a worthless ucl campaign next year a couple of others could make a run
at the top 4 or even the title
the big 5 as we know it are flucked
we are going to be looking at a big dozen or so in the near future
And all you fanboys who enjoyed that brief period in the last decade when england dominated the ucl, well you can stick those memories
where the squirrel keeps his nuts as far as the rest of us are concerned
That was the blip in the arc of english football
what we have now is going to be the normality

The Chelsea match will be John Terry's last match before retiring so he would like nothing better than to end the game by sticking on a Leicester kit and lifting the Premier League trophy again.

If confirmed post the Leicester v Everton game....John Terry could be doing the guard of honour.

I hope her husband doesn't find out

You have not factored in the fact that Leicester have yet to experience their "squeaky bum time" in this  years campaign.

82 points in their last 38 league matches.  After 29 matches last season had 19 points (just four wins in 29).

Little did we know what Andy King's late winner against West Ham would start

If Leicester win say 4 & draw 2 more of their final games (not unrealistic) the will have 74 points

Spurs would need to win at least 6 games if not more & avoid defeat in others

Arsenal would have to win almost every game which will not happen

Unless Leicester implode they are almost home

Supporters of Spurs & Arsenal can still protest their hopes but I think both have blown any opportunity within the past week

hard to disagree. think only spurs realistically can get to 74 now and that'll take some doing

anyone else think leicester's improvement is somewhat suspicious?

Think Leicester will have it all wrapped up after the next six games.

what are you suggesting? Italian manager = blood doping...leave it out , its more like Arsenal are managed by Jim Best and Tottenham are Harchibald.

Leicester are not a horse

Any word on Mahrez pulling up?  That could change things MASSIVELY.

the 3 points against Man U might just take them over the line.

Leicester exposing Wenger, Pellegrini and Martinez for what they really are.  Either bang average, incompetent or past their prime.
Weather Leicester win the title or not the dynamics of the EPL have changed.  The fear factor is going.

It might be because they get themselves knocked out of the cups early so only play 40 games a season compared to the 150games Wenger makes his teams play ever year

Thai herbs? 

surely the right thing to do is lay leicester at this point- currently trading around evs. I know someone will come on and say this is a great price blah blah blah but as a trade this seems a great opportunity to lay a team that could possibly be at their peak price for the season

they have 2 of the bottom 4 in the next 4 games plus an out of form palace........current price they are a back

spurs next 4 they have utd and Liverpool
arsenal.....everton and west ham
city.....utd

Leicester could be well clear after next 4

Think they've only had 5 injuries this season excluding James who's been out for a year, 4 of those injured players came back within 10 days or so. I'm a supremely fit human being with many women to satisfy so I'm off to get myself some of these magic Thai Herbs in case I pull a groin muscle.

just think from my experience of trading on here you lay leicester at this point

lots of ups and downs to come

There is nothing to justify laying Leicester at this point.

As mcfc1981 says, current price (which is is closer to 11/8 than evens) they are a back.

yeah but that's your opinion. I happen to have a different one.

NO REASON at all to have a squeaky bum time with 3 teams with more timeform squiggles than harchibald chasing you down

yeah and leicester won't get nervous and drop points themselves... keep dreaming.

amazing that all these hardened gamblers on here are anointing leicester as the winners already... surely you can learn from history?

These hardened gamblers are expecting their next opponents to sack their manager before the game.

which will surely help the chances of newcastle beating them

little chance while mcclaren stays in charge

What 1St time poster said

Spurs, Arsenal and City will all mess up. City and Spurs also have Europe getting in the way


Looking at the fixtures Leicester not winning from here would be one of the biggest collapses of all time. They defend well, score goals and have no fixture congestion.

one of the biggest sporting collapses of all time?

hardly. wouldn't compare to man united, one of the richest football clubs in the world, throwing away a 13 point lead for example. (when bookies had already paid out on them)

and what happens if vardy or mahrez gets injured, what then?

theyve already missed vardy for a few games,theyve got a back up striker and king to cover,typical media ,pundit question about vardy,mahrez etc when ranieri,s probably not sleeping more worried about morgan or huth getting injured

.....Leicester have no fixture congestion.


Neither did Liverpool when they slipped up on winning the title.

I suppose the difference between now and previous slip ups there is no king of "mind games" like a fergie or mourinho to mess with your noodle.

the biggest difference is if lec do slip theres no one dominating enough to take advantage

5 wins(75 pts) should be more then enough for Leicester to win the title

liverpool finished 2nd on 84 points. they had to win virtually every game to keep pace with man city. think they won 13 of the last 15

as mcfc says 5 wins they win it for absolute certain and i'd say 4 wins gives them at least a 50/50 chance

74/75 WILL win the title  -  lowest tally for 40 years 

you cant fault the logic of van gal when he says unlike fergie ive done it the hard way,i havnt got steve bruce giving me 6 pts a season, LOL,

foxes will have do it the hard way ,in previous seasons tems at the bottom would be looking at the fixtures targeting points and leaving players out against utd,chelski,arsenal ,city away etc and playing their strongest 11 against teams they think they can get points against,ie newcastle will play their strongest team at lec because rightly or wrongly they,ll still believe its an easier game than spurs,city,pool utd,everton etc away despite results and the table saying other wise

don't think leicester will get to 75 points, although I agree if they do they will probably win the title.

i can't either Lewisham.But 74 will be enough

West Ham Swansea and Sunderland will be tough games for them

it is going to be a record LOW points year 

96/97 season will be the first to go - Man Utd's 75 points that season

these are thrilling times

Just look at Jamie Vardy's eyes. Clearly this bloke is on something. I'm hearing Ya Ba drug from Thailand.

do Leicester get disqualified if vardy gets tested positive for drugs?

I love spurs but we have very little hope outside of a relegation style collapse from lec
The difference with lfc 2014 was that brodge was going for wins in every game
Stevie G wrote in his book the day of the chelsea game Brodge was talking about battering chels while Gerrard was thinking to himself
you cant do that to a mourinho team.
So it proved
Leicester do not have to win every game
Take a point, move on.
Soon enough they will be playing teams with nothing to play for come april
And you know you have to be barmy to punt on a team with nothing to play for at the end of the season.
Look at last night
Tinkerman saw they were being over run in midfield.
Made the switch and hey presto 1-0
Says a lot when ranieri has more about him tactics wise than poch, wenger and pellegrini
But there we go

the only way i feel Spurs could win the title is by winning 3 important games .

Manchester United -H
Chelsea - A
Newcastle - A

Spurs may hope N'castle will already be relegated  (Probable) -  United can be beaten of course  - Chelsea may be the final undoing ,that's got to be the toughest test on paper .

Leicester should really be around evens or even shorter imo


would be great to see the title won on 74 points ,beating the EPL (1992-2016) record

realistically at best spurs can pick up another 20 points and means taking at least 4 points from liverpool and chelsea away and man united at home - fixtures we've won 1 out of the around 60 attempts and winning 5 of the other 6. a monumental task

Leicester will have it won long before the final 3 games, believe you me.There is no consistency from the chasing pack.

Backed Leicester today reluctantly at only 2.28 - I'd had misgivings, but as pointed out above after recent results they should really be odds on now.

*recent results and upcoming fixture lists, should clarify

Just hope they don't just suddenly turn into Leicester City now I've backed them

i still have nightmares of Everton letting City win to stop Liverpool winning the league. Almost silence when Barkley opened the scoring

Threw the league away yourselves without blaming other teams

I can't believe all these fannies cashing out 5000/1 bets

Settled for £72000 for a £50 stake (so £250k)

Absolutely no balls

72k pretty life changing, not exactly something you'd want to lose - though personally I'd partial cash out and leave some running.

If I win my 100 quid backing them, will be happy enough

I wouldnt be jumping on at this price.

Sure none of the chasing pack have looked convincing but Leicester have been barely beating sides themselves, theres still a hell of a lot of points to be played for.

They have the advantage that they can drop points and still win though.

they've got to show a lot of bottle to win it- can't see it happening.

lumping on now, when they are close to evs, just seems bonkers.

palace will turn them over.

Ive watched their last 5 games now, 3-1 away to City, 2-1 away to Arsenal, 1-0 away to Watford, 1-0 at home to Norwich and 2-2 at home to West Brom.

Besides the Manchester City game, theyve been on the back foot consistently against everyone else.  It hasnt been a tactical masterclass by Ranieri suckering teams in, theyve genuinely looked like theyre about to let in a bunch of goals with last ditch tackles, the woodwork and the ref stepping in to save them.  They cannot hold possession when they need to, which is vital when you're under pressure.  Teams have been missing clear cut chances against them for weeks now.

Without Mahrez as an outlet they'd be ****, even a player I love in Vardy cannot carry a threat without Mahrez.

I havent got the heart to bet against them but at the odds I should be.  If they continue to be lucky, they will be going into their final 3 games either level or 1 point adrift of Spurs, needing to win these games rather than just hold on.

Their next 3 games are more important than their last 3, Newcastle at home, Palace away and then Southampton at home.  For me they need 3 wins out of 3.

Plenty of title winning teams have plenty of matches where they look like they're about to concede but never actually do it. Their defensive record has been excellent for months now and that's no fluke. On Saturday they were in control for most of the second half and towards the end they battered West Brom.

The big concern with them is there's likely to be a time when the players suddenly realise just what they're on the brink of achieving but that goes for Tottenham as well if they were to get close.

The other thing to factor in is just about everyone wants them to win it amongst neutrals. If you're a player in a team with not much to play for coming up against them, deep down you're not begrudging losing to them. Some of those matches looking tricky on paper may become a lot less tricky for that reason alone.

I really hope youre right Marcce, I just feel theres too many games left to be relying on good fortune, lets hope they prove me wrong and approach their next 3 games like a team who deserve to win the league. 

27 points to play for, they already have 5 in the bank over the others, 4 wins and a draw would win them 73 points.  Spurs would need 6 wins from 9, Arsenal 7 wins from 9 (plus more goals) and City 8 from 10 - all of which I feel is too much in hand for the last two. 

At least 4 more wins and 1 draw knocks out Arsenal and City, the sooner they can do that the better, if theyre going into their last 3 games within 1 or 2 points of the rest they could be ****.

Plenty of teams have won the league without being able to keep possession. Hell fergus later Man U teams had fletcher Anderson, forty year old gigs giving the ball away like it was going out of fashion. All you need is an organised defence and a forward line with pace and you have cracked the English game. Leicester have more than enough in hand

I doubt the "team for the neutrals" theory really makes any difference. I mean the teams they are up against are all professionals, they are all playing for pride, making a bid to move to bigger clubs etc.

What clacher says about them struggling in their recent games, I'd take note people. Their luck cannot hold forever.

I can see them beating newcastle (although that is no certainty) but would you be surprised if palace were to turn them over?

Will they get these supposedly magic "four wins" before they play their last three games, all which is against tough opposition? I have serious doubts.

People are dazzled by the points total, yes that's important but every game from now on in is the biggest in the clubs history, and the pressure might just begin to tell. Liverpool a couple of years ago were supposed to be home and hosed, they also had a decent lead and slipped up. Man U when they lost the title to City on the final game, were also very short.

Leicester might well go on and win it but at the current price you have to be a layer, even if they win the chances are very high they will drift out at some point (although I must admit, even if they went to 2-1 I wouldn't back them back again)

Which games have Leicester struggled in? Since the Arsenal game which they were winning until a red they have been generally on top in their last 3 getting 7 points. Another 5 minutes vs wba and they would have won that as well. In fact they've had more possession, more shots, and more shots on target in these matches, if thats struggling then get on them to win it!

Last season in their last 9 games they came up against 6 of the teams they have in their last 9 games this time around. West Ham, Swansea, Chelsea, Newcastle, Swansea and Sunderland. They won 4 of those games, drew 1 and only lost to Chelsea. Why was that? Because most of those teams had nothing left to play for when they faced Leicester.

All very well to say people are "dazzled" by the points total but by the same degree people are also doing them down because it's Leicester. At this stage of the season they've won more games than anyone else, have lost less games than anyone else and have scored the most number of goals in the league along with Man City. In short they've been the best team in the league up to now.

It's also easy to be "dazzled" by those last 3 games. Everton and Chelsea will have nothing left to play for by then and one of them could quite possibly have a cup final coming up a week or 2 later. Plus as a Chelsea fan, I can assure you that Tottenham coming to Chelsea in our last but one home game will face a whole different test to Leicester in our last home game should it all be up for grabs by then.

I also referred to the fact that at some point it's highly possible they could get affected by what they could be about to achieve but that also applies to both Tottenham and Arsenal, both of whom have blinked in the last few games.

Should be Southampton and Sunderland.

only spurs of the chasing pack can realistically get to around 75 and they'll have to play out of their skin to get 20 points from the last 9 games. i'd snap your arm to get even 4 points off liverpool and chelsea away and united at home. we never ever win any of these 3 games

leicester can afford to make so many mistakes and still win it. be surprised if they need more than 3 points from those supposedly difficult last 3 games and it could quite easily be in the bag by then

i still have a feeling they will be stopped in their tracks.

Authorities don't like underdogs coming out on top .

Some new rule will be made up surely ?    i'd be very surprised if theyre allowed to win this .

Maybe a 10 points reduction ,some broken rule .

If somehow they do or are actually allowed to  ,this bit of history will be swept under the carpet with no reference to Leicester ever winning the title .

deduction *  even

maybe a Wimbledon style  approach - get RID of the club so they no longer exist .That way they can have no entitlement to this glory.

If they approach the next 3 games like they have the last 3, should be fine. Injuries to certain players will be worry, but I think they have the bit between their teeth, and have more confidence than people realise.

Still confident backers?

Leicester were 2.28 to back & 2.3 to lay on 6 March.

Currently they're 2.04 to back & 2.06 to lay.

If they beat Newcastle tomorrow (Away form: P14 W2 D1 L11 gf7 ga32) they'll go odds on.

March 6 was not the day to lay Leicester.

man united - hopeless
everton - one eye on possible cup final
chelsea - spurs or arsenal could be the beneficiaries of them getting a result

fergie thinks they'll have it won with 3 games to spare. looking at spurs and leicester's next 4 i can see where he's coming from

don't recall fergie being renowned as a tipster.

They are very layable right now, I have a heart so I wont do it, I'm not very ruthless in my gambling these days.

Not so much because I think they'll bottle it but more because I think theyve played **** for a while.

Odds on now

1.82/1.83

5 points clear, 8 games to go

  another poor performance against a **** team but ill take it.

Those last 3 supposedly tough games don't look so difficult now given how each are playing.

Chelsea are where they are, because thats where, they deserve to be. Man Utd don't deserve to be in 5th, 10th is about where they ought to be and why would they be worried about Everton at home, their toughest fixture is West Ham at home. At worse I can see Leicester getting 8 more points and Spurs won't get much more than about 75 maxumum.

Either Man Utd or Everton will have their eyes on Wembley by then.

Plus Chelski are woeful.
