    Spurs have the chance to reduce the lead at the top to 5 points tonight when the play Stoke at the Britannia Stadium tonight.

    Even if they get the win Leicester are still favourites but it will put pressure on them as they are home to a much improved Swansea next without their top scorer as Vardy sits out the next game after his sending off.

    Spurs play WBA in their next fixture and it's a home game, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine Leicester with a slim 2 point lead this time next week.

    1 game at a time and all that but Spurs need to look at the fixtures and understand that tonights game is a must win, get it done and they could find themselves with a shot at winning the league.

    Leicester are well in the driving seat and,TBH, I'll be amazed if they trip up that badly. But yeah, all we can do is try to win our remaining games and see where that takes us.

    End of a tricky 3 games for us. Pool away, Man U at home (never beat them) and Stoke away. If we end up with 7 points from that I think we are taking it all the way. Leicester will get home with 3 wins or 2 wins and 2 draws regardless of our games. Can see them dropping points from Man Utd and Chelsea (many of whom might be playing for their futures) away. Home games against Swansea and Everton (who are better away) will show whether they are struggling with nerves. Both of whom have players that can cause damage if you are not 100% on your game.

    If I was to bet, I'd say Leicester by 2 points.

    All these PL fixtures are must win. They have effectively been so since about mid Feb.

    How do you know that Custard?

    Bet you was ****ing your life away whilst United were winning all them trophies and you never thought you would be hoping for other teams to slip up so you can finish 4th. Not that you are 4th.

    With Vardy looking like getting a extra game ban, Leicester will be under hugh pressure in their next two matches. Spurs could end up having a genuine chance but need to win tonight first.

    You was getting all emotional, some sad Pool fans even wanted to name their kid after the flop that is Lovren.

    It's your philosophy that you went against, not mine, your so desperate sucky.

    Your fast becoming a gobshaite.
