It might be looked back on as a crucial weekend in the destiny of the 2020/21 Premier League title. With the so-called big names such as Liverpool, both Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham dropping points, other less-fancied sides picked up vital wins in the race for the EPL title.  

Leicester 3-0 Brighton & Hove Albion 

A dominant display from Brendan Rodgers ferocious Foxes put the East Midlands side firmly back in the title picture. With two goals from James Maddison and another – as well as two assists – from talisman and striker Jamie Vardy, Leicester ran riot in the first half against Graham Potter’s Brighton.  

While Leicester had been in mixed form in recent weeks, others had edged past them in a race for the top spot in the Premier League such as Liverpool and Tottenham. This latest three points for The Foxes, their eight win of the campaign so far, put them just a point behind their more illustrious rivals for the title, and with three great goals, in far better goalscoring form. This midweek will see their two main rivals clash at Anfield so a win against Everton could well put Brendan Rodgers side top ahead of the weekend. With a new training ground almost complete, some great young players and other more experienced heads such as Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Timothy Castagne returning to the backline, the omens are looking good for another title run-in for Leicester City.
