Leicester City boss credits bright players for remarkable Premier League ascension

It’s going to be fast and furious, and absolutely crucial to the outcome of the the title race. The Totterham Hotspur has won six straight matches to leap into second place in the Premier League.

The team has been the story of the season, with players like Jamie Vardy, N’Golo Kante and African Riyad Mahrez destroying teams like Manchester City, who have been assembled together at a far more expensive rate. Expect a big shake-up on Sunday. Third versus first, fourth versus second. Arsenal against Leicester. All the pressure is on the Gunners. And slowly but surely they’ve gained more confidence. Potentially they could have the same devastating effect on Arsenal – remember how Anthony Martial, then at Monaco, cut through the Gunners at the Emirates this time previous year to send them out of the Champions League.

The games where Leicester have struggled have been when teams have sat back and forced Claudio Ranieri’s side to break them down.

“Every team has one or two players who are very influential in what they do”. I’m not anxious about any danger in the summer – if they win the league that’ll do me!

Leicester will have plenty of backers at 7/2. It’s been consistent brilliance over seven months, which has taken everyone by surprise.

Leicester are top of the table with 13 games remaining and have a five-point cushion over nearest challengers Tottenham and Arsenal, with an away game against Arsene Wenger’s men next up. At the same stage this time around they are five points clear at the top. While as in the past, Arsenal may have been accused of complacency when playing seemingly lower competition this time round, there is absolutely no room for such.

This year, Manchester United and Chelsea will invest significantly to get their own squads up to scratch, whilst Manchester City enter a new dawn under Pep Guardiola and Liverpool will get shaken-up by Jurgen Klopp. More recently, Arsenal weren’t too enamoured of Monaco. In fact, their last win against a top six side was all the way back in May 2015, and that was against Tottenham. Leicester City on the other hand will also want to extend their lead at the top of table since for them the EPL trophy is with sight now. His shoot-out with Harry Kane is going to be vital.

“And clearly the last three performances show that desire, that hunger, that we are on the right path”. Pochettino’s team are so hard to beat.

Meanwhile, Leicester City pulled off a remarkable 3-1 victory against a tough Manchester City eleven on the road at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday, as per BBC Sport. Kevin De Bruyne put City ahead before Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld, Harry Kane and Erik Lamela launched a Spurs onslaught.

“Aguero is one of the best strikers in the world and we will try not to give him space”.

What a day it promises to be.

Arsenal invincible Gilberto Silva has claimed that Francis Coquelin is the best midfielder in the Premier League while offering glowing praise for a young player who is growing into a role that Silva himself excelled at.
