PAUL MERSON COLUMN: Villa are doomed, Leicester must win the title, Arsenal are in trouble. IF LEICESTER win the league we’ll be talking about it forever – and if they win their next two games they’ll be champions. Beat Manchester City and Arsenal and they would have to really throw it away to end up missing out on the title. But I’d be shocked if City lost at home to Leicester tomorrow. Let’s not get carried away with the Liverpool result. Leicester were favourites to win that game, and rightly so. They are a better team than Liverpool. It’s phenomenal what Leicester are doing. They went off the boil for a bit and now they’ve bounced back. But I do think City will win the game. They have to. This is a once in lifetime thing for Leicester though. Don’t end up fourth. Don’t be there one day with your grandkid on your knee and when he asks what you did in football say, ‘I came fourth once’.
Someone should tell Merson that City looked less than great against Sunderland last time out . As a matter of fact , ManCity have won 5 games from their last 10 since the beginning of Dec . 2 against Sunderland : 19th 1 against Swansea :16 th ( Scored in extra time for the win ) 1 againstPalace : 12th 1 against Watford : 9th Someone should also remind Merson that Man City haven't beat a top 6 team .....ALL SEASON ...
Quaking bookies prepare for a battering as Leicester become title FAVOURITES. LEICESTER are now officially favourites to win the Premier League and it could spell disaster for bookmakers as more than 100 fans backed them at 5,000-1 when the season started. Who the **** are the 100 ?
