Preamble

LLLLWDLLD. This Manchester City nonsense can’t go on for much longer can it? But they are not alone! Let’s say, look at Leicester’s Premier League form over the same period: DLLLWDLLL. And so here we are, the 2016 winners and the four-in-a-row reigning champions, both on luck, meeting at King Power in a battle where any the result is possible, virtually all of eyebrow-waving proportions. Kick-off is at 14.30 GMT. It’s so very strange that it has come to this, but it’s on!
