Title Contenders in England

Leicester City, also called “The Foxes” moved five points clear of second place Tottenham after a 2-2 draw against West Ham United. Leicester City show no signs of giving up on their title dreams.

This season Barclays Premier league season has been the craziest in the history of the Premier League. Leicester City are flying high at the top of the table even as the season comes to an end.

Five consecutive wins against Watford, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Sunderland guaranteed they will finish this weekend five points clear in first place even after the draw they had on Saturday.

Man City, after their home defeat Leicester in February, no longer have any ideas of winning the title. Although they have history of coming back from this kind of position to become champions, right now, they are currently sitting at fourth place with 12 point separating them from the current league leaders.

In 2012, Manchester City trailed Manchester United by eight points with five games to play, they later went on to win the title on the final day. They also pegged back Liverpool in 2014 to win their second Premier League title.

Currently, North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal are siting second and third respectively on the league table. They are the only ones within reach of stopping Leicester City from becoming Champions this season. After Christmas, Arsenal were the major favorites to lift their first crown since 2004. But four league games without a win has seen them drop to fourth in the table, and Leicester, and Spurs are building up a head of steam.

But who will come out on top come Sunday 15 May.
