1) Foxes should fear peaking champions
After Manchester City’s 3-0 humbling of Bayern Munich, next up at the Etihad is the Premier League’s second-bottom team, Leicester. This will be the champions’ last league game before a seismic clash with Arsenal on 26 April. Pep Guardiola’s men are in ripe form just as a treble chance hoves into sight, with next Wednesday’s return at Bayern in the Champions League coming three days before a Wembley trip to take on Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals. Erling Haaland is adding assists to his goal-gluttony, Bernardo Silva’s dancing feet are back, and Rúben Dias is a colossus in defence once more, with Guardiola’s four-man rearguard that becomes a three in possession another key to this upsurge. Do not be surprised, then, if Leicester are swept aside particularly because, after Arsenal dropped two points at Liverpool, a three-peat City title win is now back in their hands. Jamie Jackson
