Top of the league in Spain: Barcelona. In Germany: Bayern Munich. In France: PSG. In England: Leicester City. An unlikely foursome.
On Saturday, Leicester plays Manchester United in the most remarkable top-of-the-table clash in Premier League history. This time last season after 13 matches Leicester was bottom; a year later at the same stage it is first. Nobody thinks it will stay there, but no one believed it would lead the way, especially with a third of the season gone.
When the sides met 14 months ago, Leicester came from 3-1 down to win 5-3, the first time United had lost a Premier League game after having a two-goal lead. A similar result Saturday is unlikely though it promises to be a fascinating game with the most prolific attack against the most miserly defense.
