Where will Leicester city finish?

[Mullers]

Since 1993 every team that has been top after 15 games has finished top 6. They have mostly ended up in 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Aston Villa got 6th in 1999 and Arsenal got 4th in 2014.

I think they will finish outside the top 6 places but it could be close.

Unsustainable

I think it's a bit of snobbery to suggest they will just fall away. No one looks unbeatable and Leicester look as good as anyone else.

Odds are against them though and it will certainly be interesting to watch

Only team up there with no European distraction, they're a legitimate threat to the top 4

They're playing well and thoroughly deserve to be in the mix right now. But do they have the strength in depth to keep it up over a full season? What happens if Vardy and/or Mahrez get injured or fatigued? Can they replace them and still maintain their current form?

Opposing teams are going to start taking them seriously now. Will they be as effective when they are faced with teams that defend all game, looking for a point?

They've got a tough run of games now with Chelsea (h), Everton (a), Liverpool (a) and Man City (h) coming in a row. They could quite easily end that run with 0 points and fall out of the top 4. If they take 7+ points from those games though, I think they'll have to be taken seriously for the top 4 race.

I think they'll finish 5th. Vardy and Mahrez are bound to miss a few games, and teams will probably start to defend deeper against them to try and pick up a point rather than going for a win against them. The next five or six games are going to be so important to them as they are taking on a lot of the big sides during that run. There's no-one other than us that I'd rather see win the league this year though.

 

[fletch82]

They have a enormous chance of top 4 I think

That being said I think they will finish 5th above lolerpool in 6th

 

[HailKingLevy]

The fact they only have 1 game a week to concentrate on, evens out the chance of injuries and squad depth.

For me they have every chance of top 4 but think they will just come up short.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

The concerning result of theirs to me was their demolition of Swansea. They're not only pushing the boat out against the top teams but they're also cruising past the lower mid table sides, even away from home.

Everyone would be stupid to treat them as anything other than a very serious threat.

I think they will ultimately finish outside the top 5, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Phn3Xta5]

they'll finish second behind the mighty spurs.

 

[tony_parkes]

Still think they will finish 6 - 8th.

City, Arsenal, us, United, Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea could well finish above them still.

There's such a long way to go still but they could well prove me wrong.

 

[mpickard2087]

So far they are passing every test and whilst I'm not predicting it, I think they are capable of a top six finish. They are in a tough run of games now and you'd think they would drop away eventually but it hasn't happened so far and they do have a nice buffer from 6th downwards. There isn't any consistency in the league either so far that suggests multiple teams making up the points and overhauling them.

 

[thinktank]

I think they'll have some sort of dip and then rally - 6th.

If they do get top 4 I wouldn't be shocked at all. They have the best mindset in the division and would have thoroughly deserved it for playing extreme football and working their balls off with the limited resources they have. Utilising every inch of every player.

I'm full of admiration for them.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

They let in a lot of goals, as soon as Mahrez and Vardy don't score they've got something to worry about

 

[OneHotspur1988]

I think they'll finish in the Top 4 and then their team will be dismantled by the chavs, Man City, United next season

 

[hellava_tough]

Love them to win the thing, if Spurs can't.

If they fluke it injuries-wise, then they may do.

Realistically though, they'll come 6th.

 

[Pimp_Spur]

8th

 

[yankspurs]

Top 6: City, Arsenal, United, Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea

 

[riggi]

Higher than us.

 

[Kingellesar]

Vardy and Mahrez stay fit, they will be challenging for 4th. Unless a big team comes in January and prizes them away/puts in bids to unsettle them.

I seriously think they can push us and Liverpool all the way to 4th. You would have to say they deserve it out of the three so far, they have been so impressive, considering where they were this time last season.

Maybe Roman will go in for Ranieri!!
