The guy who cashed out on Leicester...

... now looks to have made the right decision.

Spurs look irresistible, and I can't see Leicester winning the next two with Vardy banned.

Could have been 5 or 6 this game and there's still 10 mins to go! Supers were 4/1 yesterday to win the league not sure if they're that big now but I fancy them to do it.

I can see them being neck and neck going into the last two games.

Wish I was as confident that we'd win the next two games as I am about Spurs!

Stoke are possibly on the beach, but this second half looks like a Premier League side picking off non-Leaguers in the Third Round of the FA Cup.

What a goal that is by Ali. He's going to be some player if he keeps his head down.

Spurs have to play Newcastle away in their last game. For all their troubles Newcastle have a pretty good home record and there is a good possibility they will need to win that game to be in with a chance of staying up. I reckon Leicester will probably win the League if they can get one win and two draws from their last four games. That should be doable from Swansea, Everton and Chelsea.

Is the Everton game at Goodison? If so then the title is all but heading to Leicester.

Still nowt left for Everton. They will either be fretting about the semi final or the final, or they will have been knocked out and be mentally crushed and on the beach.

If they beat Swansea, then it's going to be tough for Spurs,

I don't think they will beat Swansea without Vardy. Lump on a draw.

Leicester have Man Utd away. How many have United lost at home?

Swansea are on the beach, probably the best side in the league to be playing

Last time Leicester were in a similar position they messed it up years ago, different side and times though. Spurs will win it, it won't be by much, but they just have a better all round squad.
 Vardy missing games and Kane not will clinch it for them. As much as Kane impresses me, Alli is one another level to everybody else at times, it's frightening how good he could become!.

Nah don't be daft , although I fancied Spurs to be right up there - they should still fall just short. Still the best two teams overall are up there.

Spurs have been far and away the best side all season.

Newcastle vs Spurs on the final day has potential to be very interesting.

Surprised more hasn't been made of perennial bottlers Arsenal, bottling a title bid yet again. They could probably find a way to f**k up a four-point lead with one game to play.

Maybe because it's an annual event! I'm sure they'll struggle into fourth, when this year they should have been winning it.

I think it's wrong to claim that someone cashing out on that bet looks to have made the right decision, if this was any other team holding a 5 point lead everyone would be saying the title is sewn up. I also don't think that missing Vardy will necessarily be a killer blow for them, if they beat Swansea next weekend the task becomes very difficult for Spurs to overhaul them, and let's not forget they still have to go to Chelsea as well. I think the gap may shorten but Leicester will hold out, as providing they beat Swansea and Everton at home (both very likely) Spurs would have to win every match.

How good it is though that we're debating a Leicester v Spurs title race in mid-April, a wonderful breath of fresh air.

Haven't we learned by now not to write Leicester off? They are an exceedingly good football team, and not totally reliant on Vardy at all. Mad to assume they won't beat two mid-table nowt-to-play-for cloggrers when Drinkwater, Mahrez, Kante etc are still on the pitch.

Agree with that RoversAlias - people have been saying that their run won't last since the start of the season, and suddenly now that they've drawn a game and Spurs have romped to victory the title is going to White Hart Lane?! It was only a couple of games ago that Spurs drew with Liverpool, and not long before that they could only draw against 10 man Arsenal and lost to West Ham.

I'm not saying that Leicester will definitely win the title but it's still theirs to lose. Beat Swansea and that will really put the pressure on Spurs for next Monday.

Eight points from four games is not beyond Leicester, but I think they need to win at least one of their next two. Otherwise I think the pressure will be too much.

The key thing for me is it is difficult to see Spurs doing anything other than winning their last four.

They could very easily only get one win against Swansea and not get another point, also they could win the lot. I have been wrong all season with them. I don't mind who wins it both have been very good in different ways, Leicester play more as a team, spurs have the individual stars.

Leicester really struggling without Vardy today...

They've only got 3, they should have 4 or 5!

Fair play to them. They have responded magnificently. You have to give a lot of credit to Ranieri. He takes the pressure off his players brilliantly.

Pressure is put firmly back onto Spurs now. What a way to silence the doubters!
