European giants going toe-to-toe for Leicester City star
The league leaders, Leicester City, host Norwich City at King Power Stadium in the 27 week of Barclays Premier League.
Leicester are unbeaten in their last eight league games at home while Norwich have lost eight of their last nine top flight games on the road. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs are picking up the game and extending their winning runs, with the latter in 2 place and the former in 3, amassing 51 points each.
Vardy will come up against Smalling for the second time this season with Leicester travel to Old Trafford on April 30, with the reverse fixture back in November ending in 1-1 draw. Bottom of the standings at Christmas in 2014 and top of them at Christmas in 2015, the Midlands club was widely expected to drop points as the season wore on.
It was the first goal the Saints had conceded in seven league games and Chelsea grabbed the victor one minute from time thanks to a powerful header from Ivanovic.
Canaries boss Alex Neil’s best bet here is probably to just try to shut up shop and try and pinch a positive result because if they open up against Leicester then the Foxes will take them apart.
But, with two minutes left, Ulloa popped up at the far post to fire in Albrighton’s cross from point-blank range.
“I think it’s been a hard (season) for Man United, but in big games like this, we know that they’re going to turn up, because everyone loves these kind of matches”, the Frenchman told Arsenal’s official website.
“Against Leicester, even when we were behind, we all wanted to put a defensive shift in”.
Arsenal got a very important win against Leicester as it kept them within touching distance of the Foxes.
But he feels Leicester boast the best and most deserving candidates to be player of the year if Payet isn’t considered the Premier League’s form player this season. Plus, third-placed Arsenal have a tricky away tie at Manchester United. I would have to be with the squad for a fair while and get used to the intensity because I have only really known League One. They will want to play close and they will want to counter-attack. Winger Michail Antonio scored it by cutting in from the right touchline and muscling past three Sunderland defenders to curl the ball past keeper Vito Mannone.
“We were not flat, but we were not in the red zone”, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said.
“My responsibility is to win games and at the moment we are not doing that”, he said. I was so anxious because after two weeks, your players can lose their tempo, but now I am very relaxed. “But realistically we deserved three points today”.
