Despite Leicester City arriving as leaders by three points the smart money remains on Manchester City beating them to close the deficit. But in this Premier League season for the ages anything is proving possible so imagine the boost for Jamie Vardy and company if they return back down the motorway having defeated Manuel Pellegrini’s men to double their advantage.
