The flying Foxes' impressive season shows now signs
of slowing although they still have to face trips to Arsenal, Chelsea
and Manchester United before the end of the season Leicester's victory over Manchester City means Claudio Renieri's men are now six points clear at the top of the Premier League table with just 13 games to go.
While the Foxes' title challenge has largely been written off so far this season, Saturday's emphatic 3-1 win over Manuel Pellegrini's men has ensured their unlikely bid is now being taken very seriously indeed.
However, despite their healthy lead at the top of the table, Leicester still have some tough challenges ahead if they are to claim a shock title, and lift their very first Premier League trophy.
Indeed, next up for Ranieri's men is a trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal, a team that hammered them 5-2 at the King Power Stadium back in September.
Leicester also have to travel to Old Trafford (30 Apr) and Stamford Bridge before the season's end, although they face Guus Hiddink's men on the final day, when the title could already have been decided.
At home Leicester still have to play Southampton, West Ham and Everton while games against relegation-threatened Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich could also prove tricky with teams fighting for survival.
