Will Leicester win the Premier League?

10th March 2016admin

It started as a dream but now it’s getting closer to reality! Is it really possible for Leicester to do the unthinkable and win the Premier League? We sent Reece, Logan, Frankie and Aaron out to ask a few experts.

Leicester city are absolutely destroying the premier league right now. Do you know how last season they were scrapping for their lives in the relegation zone to the bookies favourites to win the league? So far this season they have won 17 games and only losing 3 (Arsenal x2 and Liverpool) with practically the same squad as the last few years. They have shown the big boys that money is nothing without belief.

The biggest decision the Leicester city group will make is who will get player of the season, with contenders such as N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy! The King Power Stadium has become a fortress even when they weren’t doing as well last year. Believe it or not Leicester even made an earthquake registering 0.3 on the Richter scale a few weeks back when they scored the winner against Norwich.

Although there are a few stand out players the team wouldn’t be able to function without every single one. There are many unsung heroes like Danny drinkwater, Robert Huth and Marc Albrighton. If Leicester win the league, as many people think they can, Andy King will become the only player to win 3 different divisions with the same club. He is a club legend who has been with Leicester for many years winning league 1,the championship and hopefully the premier league. When Claudio Ranieri was announced as Nigel Pearson’s replacement it raised a few eyebrows but now it has proven to be a very good decision by the owners. Ranieri has evolved Leicesters team from a relegation battling squad to champions of England. A tactical genius but the season isn’t done yet and they could still slip up. We will have to wait and see.
