3 wins, 2 defeats and a draw in the last 6? Yep, they're going to steamroll the league from 12 points behind in 11 games.

Eh?! If you're talking current form, Spurs have won the last 6 games in a row in the PL. They're the form team in the league, yet you can't see past Utd?

Lord TSC

Chose Leicester.

Such an easy story to get behind. Would be happy to see Spurs win it either though. Given United are so far behind, I'm all for an underdog story and it doesnt get bigger than Leicester.

Turtyturd

Eh, he obviously means West Ham.

Spurs for me. I was talking them up a few months back as dark horses and a good outside bet, they're certainly more than that now.

Arsenal are bottlers and have a manager who is more interested in excuses. Man City are still a threat.

But it's starting to become a battle between Spurs and Leicester and i just feel Spurs have more about them.

Paz-CCFC

Based on this weekend's final, I'd say City.


But Dundalk will be trying their hardest to get the three in a row and Rovers will be up there, too.

GavRedKing

Whoever finishes top with the most points.

Toobz

Really gunning for a Leicester league win but I think spurs have that little bit extra squad depth and quality.

If either win it's been an excellent season and a win for football over money.

Voted spurs but hope leicester do it

bad2dabone

It'll be spurs. And fair play to them.

The_Kew_Tour

Picked Spurs, they won't have a better chance.

Iused2likebusts

Spurs could really do with going out of the Europa League. I think they are the best team in the league this year. Strong in all areas of the pitch if they go out of EL I'd make them favourites.

davycc

im biased hope spurs can sneak it as a spurs fan trying to stay below the radar.
but if so far leicester deserve it . fantastic team who are willing to die for each other and the jersey and their manager.. ranieri is a class act too. an absolute gentleman

I disagree. Keep on winning football matches. It becomes a roll.

Voted leicester. Most of the squad will never have a chance again and they play as if they know it.

Harry Palmr

With the lack of workload I'm going for Leicester City, Spurs as runners up.

adox

I still think City will sneak it.

dfx-

City for me.

Leicester will last another couple of games, Arsenal have been out of it for me for a while now. Spurs are the only other challengers and it's hard to know what to make of them.

like most neutrals hope Leicester - if not them - Spurs - then Arsenal - anyone but City buying another trophy , everything they win seams hollow to me , including today - given there resources , I could manage them and win something. Go on Leicester.

I'd doubt it TBH.

dr.kenneth noisewater

hope its Leicester but think Spurs might do it. Wouldnt rule out City yet

golfball37

Spurs fan here- City will win it yet.
They hauled back a bigger gap in less time two years ago.

eh i dunno

Kante missing the next two games is a big loss for Leicester. Think spurs myself

City were decent enough for the majority of that season. They haven't put a good run together this season at all and with Pellegrini's future at the club common knowledge you would have to wonder if they have the fight in them.
They were bang average yesterday in that cup final, a better team than Liverpool would have beaten them.

Strumms

Not sure at all on City. Bit of a gap there now alright and although I know they have a game in hand I'd always still rather the points in the bag too. They also have to go to Anfield on Wednesday against a Liverpool side who will be up for some revenge and a tough game or two yet against the likes of Arsenal and United and they have the penchant for also dropping points against weaker times when not expected too.

To be honest as a neutral unfortunately (Man Utd fan) in terms of the race for first I think it would be brilliant for the league and about time that someone from outside what was traditionally now for a few years as the 'big four' not only infiltrates that group of teams but can also go on to win it. I'd be delighted if it was Leicester firstly but if not Spurs. I say that not in terms of not wanting our traditional rivals to win it but it would be great for the game overall I think...

bucketybuck

Whatever about who wins it, whichever of the contenders misses out is really going to regret it over time. How likely is it that the big money three will all be so poor again, it seems inevitable that with their spending power they will return to the top of the table next season and the likes of Leicester and Spurs will get squeezed out.

Obviously Leicester are unlikely to ever come this close again, but even for Spurs this could be a once in a generation chance to step into the gap and bag a title that is usually the domain of the likes of Chelsea and United. If they can't take this one when will a chance like this ever come again?

And Arsenal? Leicester and Spurs will kick themselves if they fall short, but Arsenal messing up this opportunity will really show them up. If Wenger couldn't win it this season you have to wonder if he can ever win it again.

eagle eye

I think City turned a corner with the good win in the Ukraine and then the League Cup win. I think they will go from strength to strength from here on in.

Like everybody I'd like to see Leicester win it but if it's not going to be them then I'd like City to win it just so Manuel Pellegrini can walk out the door in the summer with his head held high. He is a real gentleman of the game and an intelligent man too.

Richard Hillman

I was thinking about this yesterday and I do not think it is just the romantic inside of me but at this stage it is between Leicester and Spurs.

Arsenal are just too mentally frail, although they do usually do well towards the end of the season. I am going to put that down to the fact that the pressure is off.

City will have to pull of a serious run of form to do.

Logically and without the history of the clubs, Spurs and Leicester just seem like a step ahead of the other 2.

hullaballoo

It's spurs for me and even as a Chelsea fan, it's difficult to begrudge them. They've been solid, Pochetino is a grafter and they have the mettle imo to last the pace for the next 11 games.

I would have said Leicester until recently but they're seriously making hard work of beating minnows now and they're also without Kante, which is a massive deal. I'd love to see them do it for the fairytale bit but it would be bad news for the league if they win.

Leicester have the easiest run-in by far out of the contenders so they have that going but I just can't see spurs dropping too many points, whereas Leicester you'd think definitely will.

The Backwards Man

Leicester couldn't have asked for a better run in, and I fear that may be their downfall.

PhlegmyMoses

It's gonna be City and we're all gonna cry.

No offence City fans, you know what I mean.

They won their first 5 games without conceding a goal and most said they were a shoe in for the league. Kompany then got injured and they looked dodgy at the back without him.

HalloweenJack

Think it's between Spurs and Leicester. Would love Leicester to do it and would be happy enough with Spurs doing it as I really like Pochettino as a manager.

Leicester have the best run-in while Spurs have a really tough EL tie so that would give Leicester a bit of an advantage.

Arsenal and Man City just look very shaky of late and I can't see them doing it.

- with the quality and quantity and infrasture in place , I'b be rightly pissed if I won nothing - the challenge at City , which Pep will tackle is doing it in Europe and winning a league

Kiith

Spurs still have to play Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Utd. Regardless of how these teams are playing currently, these will always be tough games. We are stronger then we've been in years, and i'd fully expect us to do well against all the above teams (i'd want at least 7 points, if not more), but i just don't see Leicester dropping that many points considering their opposition over the next 11 games.#

Either way, it's great to be up there challenging for the title.

Just curious as to why you think Leicester winning would be bad for the league. I'd have thought a team like Leicester, winning with the odds massively stacked against them, would be a good thing. Gives the smaller teams hope that it's at least possible.

The_Kew_Tour

I think a reason at least will be the Co efficient.
But as United fan we can't really say we have helped that can we?

If Foxes won it and meant a place lost to CL(I know it won't be their fault primarily) so be it. It's tough luck on bigger clubs.

If Arsenal will beat Tottenham, and I think they maight, Then I tip them to go on and win. If Tottenham wins, Leicester will be championes if there are no more injuries.

Am I right in thinking that league winners are automatic first seeds for the top leagues? So they'd be seeded with psg, barca Bayern etc?

Fancy Spurs to beat Arsenal and then push on

Yep, from a co-effecient point of view itd be better if Leicester won, otherwise they'll end up bottom seeds.

I voted Leicester originally but now I'm going Arsenal. I'm serious, too.

Heart says leicester, head says arsenal.

Chelsea wont get 6th, not IMO anyway.

We'll end up in and around 8th-10th.

Our last 3 home games are Spurs, City and Leicester all clubs going for the title so we wont win the legaue but we'll have a say on who potentially can win it.
