Leicester City,the overachieving underdogs,now have a five-point lead over Tottenham and an eight-point lead over Arsenal.They have 9 remaining games to play.
The figures in brackets are the current league standings of the opponents and it can be seen that most of the remaining games are against teams that are in the lower half of the table.
Newcastle – H (19)
Crystal Palace – A (15)
Southampton – H (9)
Sunderland – A (17)
West Ham – H (5)
Swansea – H (16)
Manchester United – A (6)
Everton – H (12)
Chelsea – A (10)
The odds of them winning the league at the start of the season were 5000 to 1.
Their inexplicable winning spree is a statistical conundrum.
Will the law of averages trip them up now ?
Or will they go on to become the most improbable of EPL champions ever ?
We’ll have to watch and wait.
And Wenger is of the opinion is that the whole of England is supporting Leicester City now.
