NOBODY COULD HAVE predicted that Leicester City would be top of the Premier League table with one round of matches to go before Christmas.
Well, that may not be entirely true.
Back in August, a Foxes fan whose Twitter handle is @WillKirwaan_ stuck a £5 stake at 1000/1 on his club to be leading the race for the title come 25 December.
Lo and behold, Claudio Ranieri’s side (with more than a little help from Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez) are flying high and now just need to beat Everton away on Saturday or hope that Arsenal drop points at home to Manchester City on Monday night.
Wouldn’t £5,000 be nice around this time of year.
