Leicester keep finding a way with intensity and desire, whilst if Payet is West Ham's beauty then Michail Antonio is the beast

Leicester won ugly against Norwich on Saturday but they are going to have to win a lot more matches like that if they want to win the title.

On paper their fixtures between now and the end of the season look good but Leicester’s best performances have come against sides that come out and attack them — think Man City and Chelsea.

Their counter-attacking style is like the ‘rope-a-dope’ but it’s not quite that simple against more defensive teams. West Brom will be tough on Tuesday night and away at Watford on Saturday will be fascinating.

What Leicester have had in their favour all season is their intensity and desire to fight right to the death. 

They have scored nearly half of all their goals in the final half an hour and they stayed patient to beat Norwich. They just have to keep finding ways to win.

Michail Antonio scored the only goal of the game as West Ham beat Sunderland at Upton Park

IF PAYET IS WEST HAM'S BEAUTY, THEN ANTONIO IS THE BEAST 

We’ve all been so taken by Dimitri Payet’s fine performances for West Ham this season that Michail Antonio has almost gone unnoticed. They couldn’t be more different — they are like beauty and the beast — but Antonio is having some impact.

He is not easy on the eye but he doesn’t half put a shift in. You only need to look at his goal against Liverpool at the start of February. He won the ball at one end before running the length of the pitch to score at the other.

There’s no doubt Payet has been the catalyst for West Ham this season but sometimes you need some power to balance all those tricks and flicks.

Antonio is so strong and he has had quite a different route to the Premier League (below). He began in non-League football and has certainly been around the block. His career path means he hasn’t been coached in an academy but if anything that makes him dangerous because he is unpredictable.

He has that chaos factor — he is capable of doing something different and it’s hard for the opposition to know what he will do next. I bet sometimes even Antonio doesn’t know what he’s going to do!

I wasn’t so sure about that Homer Simpson-inspired celebration (above), but Antonio has fought hard to earn his way to the top. He looks like he’s enjoying every second of it.

The Manchester City squad celebrate as captain Vincent Kompany lifts the Capital One Cup

CITY'S FAB FOUR

This season Man City have only been able to start Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero in the same team six times. But of those six games, they have won five.

Those four are the absolute backbone of this City team and have been for years. Even if one of them is missing, City are a far weaker side. When all four start, they are formidable.

You could see that extra quality in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday and if that fab four can stay fit, do not write City off for the title. Playing 120 minutes will have tired them but that result could be the start of something special.

MARKO MAKING HIS MARK

Marko Arnautovic is a terrific player and a symbol of the new Stoke. The best thing about him this season, though? He’s learned to find the target. He has nine Premier League goals this season, whereas in his last two combined he scored five.

BERAHINO IS BACK IN BUSINESS 

I’ve watched Saido Berahino closely in his last two matches and it’s so good to see him back in form. Because this boy is a talent.

His issues off the pitch have hindered him this season but it looks like something has finally clicked with him.

He is working hard and playing with a smile on his face. He’s doing extra shooting practice and when I spoke to him on Saturday Night Football, he gave an honest assessment of himself. He knows it’s been a hard season but he wants to put the past behind him and move forward.

Berahino only has to look at Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane to see the benefits of hard work. He has the ability, he just needs to match it with effort. It may take an injury to someone for him to get his England chance but keep this up and he could give Roy Hodgson a selection headache

GUUS MUST THINK: WHY NOT ME?

I know Guus Hiddink has urged Chelsea to move quickly in appointing their next manager, but surely a small part of him must be thinking: ‘Why can’t I have a proper crack at it?’

It looks like Italy boss Antonio Conte is the main man but Hiddink has made an instant impact. In his two spells at the club they’ve lost just once in the league and the players love him.

In a way, being a good Chelsea boss is like being in the SAS — get in, do your job, and get out as quickly as possible. Maybe that’s why Hiddink has been such a success.
