England’s professional football Leicester City has gone to the top of the Premier League after defeating Chelsea’Him’.
It’s turning around the season’s schedule, but there is a leading competition where you can’t see who will lift the winning trophy.

Leicester City Ndidi’s left footed mid-range shot hits the post and shakes the net.
It is the opening goal 6 minutes after the start of the game.
At the end of the first half, Madison reports an additional goal with three consecutive runs.
Leicester, who won three consecutive league victories against Chelsea, climbed to the top of the leaderboard with 38 points.

Indeed, the path to leading is tough.
The Premier League runs two or three matches for each team during the so-called’Boxing Day’ week of the Christmas holiday.
Only twice in the last 10 seasons have the team that ran in first place missed the championship when they finished the holiday season.
However, this year is exceptionally difficult to predict.
Leicester, who was in third place as of the 6th, jumped two stairs, but Liverpool at the time fell to fourth place.
In particular, the second place Manchester United is playing one game and the third place Man City playing two less, so the ranking may change at any time.
Sohn Heung-min, who fell in fifth place, still has a chance to rebound.
On the other hand, Chelsea are moving away from the leading competition.
Including the Leicester game, he lost to the eighth place with five losses in the last eight league games.

Lampard’s position is gradually narrowing with the shabby report card that he spent over 330 billion won on recruiting players last summer.
