Leicester City’s Cinderella story of last season is a distant memory, and while the Foxes have impressed in their foray into UEFA Champions League play, their title defense in England has been a disappointment.

Stuck near the bottom of the standings, Leicester City will be hoping to start the climb back up with a win today against Manchester City in a battle of teams heading to the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

In Spain, Real Madrid will look to keep its unbeaten run going with a victory against Deportivo La Coruna. Zinedine Zidane’s men are coming off a vital draw in Barcelona, but will want to avoid a slip-up that allows Barcelona to close the gap atop the La Liga standings any further.

If you will be watching today’s action, or watched the early-morning matches and want to discuss the results, feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

  1. The absence of a DLOA-Sunderland: “L…O…L…” is concerning on such a big day for an American.

    Send out the search party, boys.

  2. Well done Bob Bradley. Swans technically now out of the drop zone, at least for the briefest of moments.

    Miles to go, but they’ve gotta be feeling today like they can do this.

    Keep winning, everything else sorts itself out.

      • As I have noted before, it is often who you play when and how you finish more than how you start. Many times we have seen teams like Sunderland or Wigan in the past escape relegation by putting together a winning streak in the last 4 to 6 weeks of the season. A long way to go, yet.
