By now, we’ve heard plenty about how remarkable a turnaround Leicester City have made in the last 12 months.
The Foxes were perilously close to relegation under Nigel Pearson last season, but one year on, Claudio Ranieri has led them to the verge of what would be a remarkable title win.
Last season’s charge to safety came so late that in the space of 12 months not only have the club gone from bottom to top, but they’ve transformed themselves from a team seven points adrift of safety to one seven points clear of second place.
Truly astonishing

The incredible rise has seen the league leaders pick up a phenomenal 18 points more than any other club since April 3, 2015, and shows this season’s run hasn’t just been a flash in the pan.
Leicester City have scored 91 points in the last 12 months, 18 points more than any other club (Spurs, Arsenal 73). #lcfc

Now all that’s left is for us to find out if they have what it takes to get over the line.
With just six games remaining after their victory over Southampton, there’s every chance.
