Could the curse of Atkinson strike again for Leicester?

Interesting observation from the Guardian:

Leicester boast one of only four 100% records in this season’s Champions League, and of that select club only they and Atlético Madrid have kept two clean sheets. This is particularly curious given that they have conceded eight times in their past two domestic matches (though two of Chelsea’s four against them in the EFL Cupcame in extra time), and 12 in their last four, with just two clean sheets in eight non-European games so far. “We are very solid, it’s difficult to score a goal against us, but today is very, very strange,” Claudio Ranieri said last week, when his side let in three goals from corners against Manchester United. This is the first time that Martin Atkinson has officiated a Leicester game since their visit to Arsenal in February, when he sent off Danny Simpson before Danny Welbeck scored a winner in the sixth of four minutes’ additional time – Ranieri declared himself “very angry” with the official’s performance. Of their last 10 matches refereed by Atkinson Leicester have lost five and won one. Interestingly, of their last 10 matches refereed by Atkinson Southampton, Leicester’s opponents on Sunday, have won seven and lost two, both the defeats coming at home to Chelsea. SB
