Vardy a doubt for Man City match

Leicester was dominated in this match and the 9 matches unbeaten streak for Liverpool at their home ground extends to 10 matches now.

A fascinating one. With Leicester having slipped up against Liverpool, they appear to be there for the taking by City – especially with key striker Jamie Vardy under the weather.

Christian Benteke’s goal sent Leicester to just their second defeat of the season.

“We have to play 63 points more, that’s why I said that in December, you never win the title”.

Leicester travels to Anfield on Saturday to face Liverpool and the Reds manager fears that they should not be surprised by the giant-killers who have defeated Chelsea and drawn United along the way.

Paddy Power are offering new customers enhanced odds of 7/1 on Arsenal to beat Southampton on Saturday.

However, full-back Cuco Martina marked his first Premier League start of the season with a superb swerving 25-yard strike to put the Saints ahead after 19 minutes before Shane Long (55) doubled the lead.

Arsene Wenger, who has previously likened Vardy’s acceleration with Alexis Sanchez, believes the striker is now the best goalscorer in the league and rightfully justifies the price tag being quoted for him.

“The title is down to consistency to fight in every single game and produce a performance”.

Manchester United’s struggles reportedly have left manager Louis van Gaal on the brink of dismissal (just don’t ask him about it directly).

United have now gone seven games without victory in all competitions – their worst run since 1989-90 – and speculation is rife that Van Gaal will pay for their slump with his job.

“It was a great game, we got a good result and now we have to look forward, there is still a lot of work to do”.

He added: “It’s more hard because I’m also part of the four matches (in succession) that we have lost”.

Raheem Sterling, Yaya Toure, Wilfried Bony and Kevin de Bruyne scored as Manchester City warmed up for their trip to Leicester on Tuesday with an easy win.

Chelsea team news: New-ish (interim) manager, Guus Hiddink, addressed the media as Chelsea boss for the (second) first time on Wednesday, stating that he’s here but technically, shouldn’t be.

Three wins from the three matches this week – Watford (h), Manchester United (a), Crystal Palace (a) – and we’re solidly back in mid-table with designs on putting pressure on the top… four? six?
