Leicester City’s superb form in 2015, which saw them end the year top of the Premier League table, has certainly carried on into 2016 – they have been beaten just once, thanks to a last minute winner by Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck at the Emirates.
The Foxes’ defence has also been more resolute – shown by the fact that they have kept 10 clean sheets in their 14 top flight matches to date in 2016 – and coupled with the attacking threat of the likes of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, the club are now on the cusp of winning their first ever Premier League title.
Claudio Ranieri’s side have notched up 33 points in 14 games in 2016, meaning they now lead fellow high-flyers Tottenham by seven points with just five matches of the campaign left to play.
