Major Talking Points from Premier League Week 31 games
Leicester City: Mahrez, Title belief
Four of Leicester City’s last five Premier League have resulted in a 1-0 win for the Foxes. The goals may have dried up a bit, but they are showing the spirit of a champions side. There is now a belief in the team that they can win the title.
Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have been the main architect behind their impressive rise, and once again they combined to score the only goal of the match, earning three-points for the Foxes.
12 of Riyad Mahrez’s 16 @premierleague goals this season have been scored away – he is now the top away scorer in the 15-16 PL #CryLei #BPL

What has surprised everyone is Leicester’s form away from home. They have been so compact, and one could see the confidence is overflowing in the side. Mahrez has been simply brilliant away from home, with 12 of his 16 goals have comes travelling away.
Hope for Arsenal, Martinez’s flawed philosophy
Arsenal bounced back from a disappointing week, where they bow out of Champions League and FA Cup within a space of four days, with a solid away performance at Goodison.
The Gunners have a relatively easy fixture from now and till the end of the season, and apart from trip to Etihad, all are winnable games. They must look to win their next seven games and hope Leicester and Tottenham drop points along the way.
Everton are such an exciting side to watch. They play a nice brand of attacking football, and have a solid bunch of promising young talents. But, as with the case of Martinez before, Everton are so poor in defending. It seems like they do not have any plan B to approach a game, Martinez’s flawed philosophy is partly responsible.
