If anyone doubted the scale of Leicester City’s achievement, they only needed to watch Tottenham’s challenge peter out on Monday night against West Bromwich Albion.

Winning a league title is harder than Wes Morgan’s chest.

Harry Kane and company zipped the ball around in an illusion of championship winning football in the first half, only to ultimately freeze.

That Claudio Ranieri’s team have been able — so far — to rise to each challenge is in part down to the Italian himself. His faux shambolic press conferences are classic misdirection. Does anyone really think his training sessions and team talks revolve solely around pizza?

José Mourinho picks fights, Ranieri does a dad comedy routine and in doing so he’s taken public expectation off his players and they’ve thrived.

Now, staggeringly, they can win the league at Old Trafford. Leicester have been the best team in the country this season; they deserve their Hollywood finish.

A thought before you head into the weekend to enjoy the feast of football. Anyone who loves the English game will either remember the Hillsborough disaster or should know about it. If you’re too young or it somehow bypassed your rarefied atmosphere here on island, please go online and read up.

This week was a monumental one as a jury’s verdict finally recognised that the 96 who died in the crush were unlawfully killed and the police were to blame.

Twenty-seven years of police lies and cover-ups behind a protective ring of a self-serving establishment have been laid bare.

That two of the country’s largest newspapers couldn’t bring themselves to put the verdict on their first edition front page merely hints at the way the dead and their surviving families have been treated over the years.

I urge anyone interested to read the special report by David Conn, of The Guardian.

OK, on to this weekend.

Only Slaven Bilic’s men with anything to play for here. West Brom on the beach after their good draw at White Hart Lane.

Prediction: 1-2

Remarkable that the future of Quique Sanchez Flores, the Watford manager, is in doubt after an excellent first year back in the top flight.

If nothing else he wins the award for most handsome touchline beard. Are Villa still here?

Prediction: 2-0

Stoke have shipped a ton of goals in their past three games and will face a side fighting for their lives. Only one outcome surely.

Prediction: 0-2

Same scenario. No one at Palace will care about this with a Wembley final to look forward to.

Prediction: 3-2

Is Roberto Martinez a dead man walking? It would appear so. How his players react could indicate his future.

Prediction: 2-2

1.30pm

Things look bleak for Norwich, and this is when Arsenal come alive as they battle to stay in the top four.

Prediction: 3-1

Jurgen Klopp will surely rotate heavily for this one, but an away win still looks likely now Swansea have little to play for.

Prediction: 1-2

Draw and the champagne stays on ice, but they’ll pick up the trophy in front of their home crowd six days later against Everton.

Prediction: 1-1

Champions League focus to cost City here. Southampton are too good not to take advantage.

Prediction: 1-1

If you believe the reports this is the first game Chelsea are seriously up for this season as they can’t stand the thought of Tottenham, who are without Dele Alli for the rest of the season, winning the league. Does Eden Hazard think the season starts in April?

Prediction: 2-1
