7 clear with 6 games remaining. Wow it's actually going to happen isn't it.

Leicester's remaining fixtures:

Sunderland (a),
West Ham (h),
Swansea (h),
Man Unt (a),
Everton (h),
Chelsea (a).
I can see them getting nine points from that lot;
3
1
3
1
1
0

Should be enough.

Apparently, at the begining of the season, Gary Linneker promised to present MOTD in his underpants if Leicester won the PL - He's getting worried now!....but also very pleased if he has to. Go Foxes!!

He certainly looks like he's been working out a bit more lately.

Must be a good feeling for Leicester knowing win all their home games and it's theirs. No need for any points at OT or the bridge.

They're more likely to win points against Man U and Chelsea given their style of play and the form of Chelsea and United. If they were to drop points I'd have guessed Sunderland or other relegation favourites, which they nearly did but for one great run and pass.

Leicester have played brilliantly all season and are now showing that they can grind points out too, the mark of deserving champions.

Could have trouble vs West Ham next week. Payet free kick or Carroll's heading ability (if he stays fit for an entire week, which is unlikely). West Ham don't draw a blank too often.

Agree with that. Reid and Ogbonna are pretty quick centre backs too. A fairly solid yet creative team. Y'never know.

As a hammers fan I'd be happy to lose against Leics to avoid seeing tottenham win the title.

Do you think if it goes to the wire and Chelsea have nothing to play for Hiddink will protect his stars and obviously potentially help Leicester beat Tottenham to the title? Or is that naughty?
