Top 5: Reasons why Leicester City are title contenders

The Deadly Duo

Mahrez and Vardy have been in sensational form this season.

26 goals. 13 assists. One record-breaker. One hat-trick hero. Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have been the stand out stars of Leicester’s fantastic campaign so far.

The deadly duo, with a combined cost of just £1.4million, have a goal scoring tally that is more than the combined La Liga total of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

No team this season has more Premier League goals than the side from the East Midlands and Vardy and Mahrez show no signs of slowing down. Between them, they have scored more goals than every single Premier League team except from Arsenal, Everton, Manchester City and Spurs. With these two leading the line, there is a genuine sense of belief that Leicester could be a real force in the Premier League.
