After 15 games in the Premier League this season, Leicester are top of the table, while defending champions Chelsea are languishing in mid table mediocrity in fourteenth place. It’s almost as if we’re seeing a real life Space Jam situation play out, with someone having taken the Blues’ all conquering powers and given them to the Foxes!
At this stage of the league last season, Chelsea were 26 points ahead of the Foxes. This season, they are 17 points behind. There’s even been talk of the Blues being relegated from the top flight. Preposterous as that may have sounded at the beginning of the season, it’s a real possibility now. And equally possible is the notion that little Leicester may win the league ahead of their more fancied rivals.
