Can we finally take Leicester seriously?

You might recall that Leicester were going to be exposed as frauds with that tough run of games beginning around Thanksgiving. Matches against Everton, Swansea and Liverpool away; Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City at home. They went into that cycle top of the Premier League and after three wins, two draws and one defeat, they emerged at the other side still top albeit jointly with Arsenal, who had a slightly better goal difference.

That's when we should have known that no, they're not frauds. Now that they're two-thirds of the way through another supposed "test" -- Liverpool at home, Manchester City and Arsenal away -- and have thus far gained six of six points, we can put that notion to bed.
