Claudio Ranieri’s men march on. Six points clear at the top of the Premier League, second place Manchester City were humbled on their own turf.

Riyad Mahrez and co kept this unbelievable run going and, with just 13 games remaining in the Premier League, they must now be favourites to win the title.

What’s better? The cost of their team.

Take a look at Manchester City’s starting team on Saturday.

You don’t need to go through each player – pound for pound – to see the difference.
