Leicester City have opened up a five point gap at the top of the Premier League table with just nine games remaining, seeing them edge slightly closer to what would be a historic title. Claudio Ranieri's men picked up another victory over the weekend by beating Watford 0-1 away from home, whilst second-placed Tottenham and third-placed Arsenal played out an enthralling 2-2 draw in the North London Derby to give Leicester some breathing room as they enter the final stretch of the season.
Although Leicester City are creeping towards what would be one of sport's greatest fairytale seasons, Ranieri is not getting carried away, he told BBC Sport.
"The fans dream and we work, which is a good combination. I said to my players, 'every game is a final'."

Forbes reported that Leicester City began the season as 5000-1 outsiders, but they now find themselves the bookmakers favorite to lift the title come the end of the season. If they can achieve this, Williams Hill (Britain's biggest bookmaker) claims that it will be "the biggest upset of all-time." Aside from the very loyal fans, there were not too many who put money on Leicester City to win the Premier League, but one man in Manchester placed a £20 bet and could win £100,000 if they taste glory.
Although Leicester City are now favourites with just 9 games remaining, the pressure has proved too much for a pair of Leicester City fans who have now cashed in on their bets. The Leicester Mercury has reported that one fan, John Pryke, cashed in prior to their victory over Watford and scooped £29,000 from a £20 bet. Upon reading this, a second (unnamed) fan then cashed in his £50 bet to take home a whopping £72,323. Had the second fan waited till after the Watford result, he could have cashed out for £91,322. He stood to win a quarter of a million pounds if City win the league. Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told the Leicester Mercury why he believes some fans are now cashing in despite Leicester City edging closer to the title.
"Every supporter who has cashed out still believes City will make history but given the money at stake, the offers must just be too good to turn down."

"We know it is up to us and we've got to keep performing ourselves. No matter what the result was earlier, we knew we needed to come to Watford and get three points. We've done that and we're walking away happy.There have been no signs that Leicester City are feeling the pressure as they have lost just one league match since the New Year. However, the next nine fixtures will define their season and the entire sporting world will be watching closely as Leicester try to pull off what will perhaps be the greatest underdog story in sports history.
