They are not overachieving ......they are where they deserve to be at this time....

Of course they deserve to be where they are. But I meant overachieving compared to what anyone would have expected pre season. Any claim that they are missing out on top 4 due to a lack of bottle is nonsense. Leicester on the other hand, given how comfortable they looked a few weeks ago, could well deserve that accusation if indeed they do miss out. Although surely they will face a weakened Man Utd side on Tuesday.
what side will leicester put out though with the cup final this saturday

I think Leicester will prioritise champions league over FA Cup now. Has the final distracted their league run?
Are you joking??

Off course Leicester fans would prefer FA Cup. A FA Cup would be impressive on Rodgers CV. I think this will be Leicester last chance of CL as 2/3 team will be sold off. Vardy is in decline.. Inenatcho has been very good.

There is no reason why they can't do both. I'd be happy enough for them to get the 3 points against Utd if that helps them get top 4.
You're an awful gobshite  ;D
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Be good to see them qualify and I like Rogers. What is wrong with that?

Fans will the trophy but the money men will want champions league. Players should want medals instead of 4th place too.

FA Cup should earn champions League qualification rather than 4th place.

Race for top four - how are the contenders shaping up?

GetOverTheBar

Chelsea should have made it now, one win in 3 probably would do them. Especially if the one they win is Leicester.

If Leicester don't get all 3 against what will likely be Man Utd 3rds.....you have to fear for them. I think Liverpool will beat Utd the game after and probably win the remainder games against newly relegated WBA and on the beach for weeks Palace and Burnley.

West Ham will be sick, they could have made it....that Everton result was crushing.

No it should not.
Yes it should. Teams fighting for the 4th place trophy is pathetic tbh. Would give real meaning to the FA Cup again too.

lurganblue

I'd agree with that too.  The FA cup winner but not the runner up if the winner has already qualified.  Then i'd give the CL place to 4th.

Captain Obvious

Over the last 30 years only 3 times has a non super league club won the FA Cup (Wigan, Portsmouth,Everton)  that doesn't bode well for Leicester who have never won a FA Cup final from 4 attempts

That's a special type of crap team out for Ole now  ;D ;D

Stays like this and it's a decent result. Still have the big guns to bring on if it's in the melting pot.
