The Leicester City story: From relegation to champions

THE story of Leicester from April 2015 to present day is nothing short of phenomenal.

Sitting dead last in the Premier League and staring an immediate return to the Championship square in the face on April 18, 2015 not a single person could have predicted this...

The then Nigel Pearson-led Foxes won an incredible SEVEN of their last nine games in the 2014-15 season to evade the clutches of the dreaded drop zone.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Manchester United will be hosting Newcastle United in the early kick-off on Saturday. Manchester United has had a good start this season, winning both their first games; however, Louis Van Gaal will be looking at stepping up the results by getting more goals against Newcastle. Newcastle on the other hand is working at rebuilding their team back to the topflight team they used to be; unless Steve McLaren can get his Newcastle side to shut out United, which looks unlikely this match is possibly a Manchester United victory.

Enyimba 1-0 Kano Pillars

The defending champions Kano Pillars came to Aba with the mind of taking something from the Elephants. However, Enyimba proved to be the team in top form in league. Ifeanyi George scored from the spot to take the Aba team to the top of the Premier League.

Enyimba is  the team with the best away records in the league, winning 4 and drawing 5 of 12 games. If this were replicated at home, they would have been leading the pack by some margin by now. Still, they are second on the table having lost the fewest number of games in total. It would take some display for the defending champions Kano Pillars to upset the Aba Elephants.
