Leicester Win, Arsenal Held to Become Joint Leaders

Bookmakers are braced to shell out millions if Leicester City win the Premier League title.

Liverpool hosted Arsenal in what proved to be one of the games of the season, as the teams shared six goals in their Premier League fixture at Anfield.

Marc Albrighton believes Aston Villa can look to Leicester for inspiration in their scrap for Barclays Premier League survival.

Tottenham still occupies the last Champions League qualifying spot, but its grip on fourth place in the league is loosening – with West Ham now just one point behind in fifth. But full credit for them, for Leicester, they deserve to stay in the place that they are.

The Foxes won the second of the Leicester-Tottenham trilogy 1-0 at White Hart Lane.

Putting aside the 374-minute goal drought that Huth ended, perhaps more significant was goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel keeping a third consecutive clean sheet in the league.

Tottenham will hope to move to within just a point of second placed Leicester City by coming out on top in the second of three meetings of the sides in the space of just a week and a half.

“The first 15 minutes were unbelievable, they press a lot and we want to press them but it wasn’t possible…” We had 24 to 26 of crosses, more than 62 possession of the ball, we created a lot of chances.

Vardy, who missed Sunday’s match because of a minor groin operation, had few chances against Spurs and extends his run without a goal to five matches.

Claudio Ranieri admits he has no idea when Jamie Vardy was last fully fit, but says he expects the striker to be ready for Euro 2016.

“We wanted to win, so I am very disappointed”, Vertonghen said.

“The fans must continue to dream, we must continue to work hard”. He then played in Dele Alli, who came close to celebrating his new White Hart Lane contract with the opener but the England midfielder could only send his rasping shot wide of the post.

“Jamie will start to make training sessions with us, he’s getting better”.

“I think they deserve it”, said Pochettino when asked if he though Ranieri’s side could maintain their form.
