Leicester City’s premier league title hope looks undisputable now even though they drew their last game to West Ham at home. Though final score was 2-2 on the board but game drew attention for the controversial exit of 29-year-old in-form forward Jamie Vardy who was booked by referee Jon Moss second time at 56th-minute for his misconduct. He would now miss the weekend's clash with Swansea City along with more serious action by the Football Association who is investigating the matter to find out why he reacted so furiously on his booking. If things go worse for him, he could be debarred for rest of the season games and then Claudio Ranieri side position on the board would become vulnerable to Spurs who are close chasing them at the top. King Power side and Vardy are given a Thursday 6 p.m. deadline to offer their defense then FA would decide on his future in the current league campaign.

Aston Villa secure a last place for itself, Joleon Lescott calls it a ‘weight off the shoulders’
In every English premier league season we talk more about the toppers of the leaderboard than those who reside at the bottom, and actually, whoever ends campaign at the bottom is equally mentionable – though for its poor form. Aston Villa is one such side who has been devastating throughout the year and for its insensible display of form in the field, this Villa Park side could only secure a bottom place for itself after they lose another game to Manchester United by 1-0 last night. The game itself has nothing to talk about except Marcus Rashford’s only winner that took his side little bit closer to the top four, though Red Devils have virtually no chance to seal a Championship league qualification. Aston Villa centre-back Joleon Lescott talked about their latest blow to ManU and if they deserved a loss at Old Trafford, he said in an interview after the game, “We knew before the game what we had to do but coming to Old Trafford is never easy no matter what situation you're in. … [Read more...]

Although, this English premier league season has grossly been successful for Arsenal, yet many experts are calling it their failure for not winning the league title since they had the best chance to end their long running title drought. In fact, if we look at what team manager Arsene Wenger has to say about the available players and if he can win them any title in upcoming tourneys, surprisingly, this 66-year-old longest serving French manager has, for the first time, accepted Gunners are having lack of good talent who could win them titles in the field. Actually, Wenger issued this statement keeping in mind upcoming summer transfer window and hints how aggressive he is going to be as far signing of new players is concerned.
