If Leicester City beat Liverpool on Boxing Day, they will surpass Claudio Ranieri’s 40-point target before the halfway stage of the season — an astonishing feat, especially for a side that was rock-bottom last Christmas. No wonder the Leicester boss has compared his troops to Forrest Gump; the run just keeps going. Leicester would move to 41 points and Ranieri would be forced to reveal his new goal. Although City are two clear at the top, the Italian endearingly (but a little laughably now) maintains survival is still the sole aim. In reality, the Foxes are genuine Champions League contenders.…
Manchester United have lost their fear factor, and the only thing scary about them now is how far they’ve fallen.

In fact, while also being hilarious for the neutral, the outcome had a sense of inevitability. Unsurprisingly, boss Louis van Gaal is now under searing pressure, with United winless in six matches. Van Gaal’s position is not helped by the timing of this slump. It…

Manuel Pellegrini is convinced Manchester City do not depend too much on captain Vincent Kompany despite their poor defensive record without him.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink says he can sympathise with the frustration of Diego Costa in recent months but wants the Spain international to re-focus on providing goals for his team. Costa has found the net just four times in 21 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season and his perceived lack of movement was repeatedly criticised by former boss Jose Mourinho, who benched the former Atletico Madrid man in favour of Eden Hazard as a false No. 9 against Tottenham last month. The striker responded by tossing his bib at Mourinho as he returned from a warm-up in…

I think everybody knows that’s not the way to be successful. “Everybody thinks (England coach) Roy Hodgson…

Kompany, though, has returned to full training this week and is in contention to play some part against Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. A quick…
