5000-1

The end of the EPL season is close at hand.  We are a a little more than a month away from declaring a winner of the 2015-16 EPL title.  From the great names of the past we have Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Leicester...wait, what???  The Foxes are the feel good sports story this year.  A year ago at this time they were fighting to stay in the Premier League, entering this season they were a 5000-1 shot to win the title.  Now their only challenger is Spurs who sit seven points behind with six to play.  The Foxes have already qualified for the Champions League to be along side teams like Bayern Munich, Barcelona and PSG.  Every week I have heard the pundits in England waiting for Leicester to tumble, but like the Little Engine That Could they sit on the precipice of their first EPL title. Their highest finish in the top flight was in 1928-28 when they finished second.  Hell, they were just promoted from the Championship in 2014.  Now they are the talk of the soccer world and just go to show that the little man still has a fighting chance.
