That title is definitely within reach for Leicester City and they are in a very good position, especially with how all the results fell their way in the week. But the notion that they have easy games is false, because when you are chasing a title, there is not such thing as simple games. Ranieri knows that, and hopefully the players do as well and ignore those on the outside saying that the run-in greatly favours them.
If this was back in November when Leicester were hitting their stride, then you would expect them to easily dispose of dudes like Crystal Palace or Norwich. But in March and the bookies putting them as favorites to win the title changes the whole game. With the title now being very real, that pressure will come in and they won't feel as free as they did last year when people assumed they would fall away.
Thing though, looking at how they performed against West Brom, there was none of that pressure at all. They just played as if it was yet another game. Mahrez playing with all the freedom in the world and the whole team executing Ranieri's game plan. It was a game they deserved to win, but the draw was even better than what their other competitiors could muster.
Could have been so much better...
But they need to go again against Watford and from now till the end of the season. With every game, the realisation that they can make history will weigh on those shoulders. I doubt that they will keep on their carefree attitude all the way through this season. I'm sure deep down the players know that they are onto something and in a season in which no team has shown any consistency and the gap between the top and bottom has been the narrowest for as long as I can remember, the title coming to Leicester for the very first time is no longer just a fantasy dream.
What people have to realise is when you are chasing a Premier League crown, even the mighty Aston Villa will be a difficult game. So every single game means something and Leicester have to apply themselves and really ensure that their creative force that is Mahrez is on his game, influences and is fit.
It ain't going to be easy...HH
