Any three of the London’s biggest sides could have had Brendan Rodgers managing them by now but they went for more exotic options instead. They’re paying the price.
Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham sink into an ever deepening pit. Thomas Tuchel unfathomably humiliates Callum Hudson-Odoi at Southampton. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal flat-line. And Leicester sail serenely on, continuing to do more than any other side to keep the semblance of a title race alive.
It helped that Jack Grealish was missing a Premier League match here for the first time since November 2019. Aston Villa were hopelessly lost without him and looked doomed to defeat even before the two goals in the space of four minutes which put Leicester two ahead inside 25 minutes.
