Foxes star Vardy reveals Ranieri stays up all night studying rivals
With 19 goals to his name this season, Vardy is his club’s and the league’s top scorer and arguably the most important member of the Foxes squad that is on course for the Premier League title.
Leicester now sit top of the Premier League table with 12 games to go and looking at their fixtures ahead I predict they will win 8/12 of those games and that could be enough to go all the way.
City were beaten 2-1 by title rivals Arsenal at The Emirates on February 14, thanks to a stoppage-time effort from England striker Danny Welbeck, and Ranieri is demanding more focus from his team when they host fourth from bottom Norwich.
“Genuinely, I don’t think we’ll get relegated”.
Three home games against Sunderland, Newcastle and Watford are surrounded by trips to West Brom and Crystal Palace.
“With the season Leicester have had I don’t see them being down (after losing at Arsenal)”. There is no pressure on Leicester going into the run in and that could be a real advantage as the side can continue to play freely, without the expectation that exists at Arsenal or Manchester City. “That was a disappointing moment for everyone and we couldn’t get over it”.
Speaking to reporters as covered by the Daily Mail, Morgan said that there is a huge desire to etch their names in the history books forever, and that the team also know how good they are after their results this season. In May 2014 Vichai said he was targeting a “top-five finish within three years”.
Within that “mini league” there is everything to play for as Leicester are just 2 points clear of both Arsenal and Spurs.
In team news, Ranieri could be tempted to give Daniel Amartey his debut, with the midfielder having regained his match fitness following a January move from FC Copenhagen, who were on a winter break.
As we approach the business end of the season, the two week break from action has provided the flawless opportunity to take stock and plot Norwich City’s survival strategy.
‘The next five matches are the turn – then the run-in and the goal is there. After a heartbreaking last-minute loss to Arsenal last time out, the Foxes must respond against a side they will be expected to comfortably sweep aside.
It’s been a long two weeks since that disappointing 2-2 against West Ham and with just 12 games to go it’s now time to start winning again. It is going to be a test for the Gunners who have to make sure they do not stumble against the United.
Following FA Cup and European games over the last week, the Premier League is back under the spotlight this weekend.
