    Leicester 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle mustered seven attempts on goal in that first half, but only one on target, a relatively tame effort from Ayoze Perez. Do they have two goals in them?

    Alex Storey: It's actually just hit me...Leicester will play the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich next season..

    Mark Lynch: keep hearing about those who had 5000/1 for Leicester winning the title.anyone have Leicester 1st, spurs 2nd? must be huge odds

    Champion Opeyemi: irrespective of whether barca wins another treble, Leicester and Ranieri has to be the World Club and Manager of the year...

    "You could say the defenders could have been tighter on Shinji Okazaki but Newcastle have been better."

    This guy's happy anyway.

    [Sorry for typing Bournemouth in the scoreline there by the way. I'm genuinely quite concerned about where that came from...]

    "Eleven clear of Arsenal, 12 points ahead of Manchester City... all the money those teams have spent - it's unbelievable. It's ridiculous to think of Leicester being be so far ahead of those. It's a two-horse race, no doubt about it. City are out of it, Arsenal are out of it."

    Leicester lead. Superb stuff again. But good signs for Newcastle?

    Ayoze Perez shoots hard and low from 22 yards for Newcastle but Kasper Schmeichel pouches it. Another key part in the Leicester jigsaw this season.

    Jonjo Shelvey is the man put in charge with making Newcastle tick, but his passing accuracy of 63% so far isn't up to scratch. There are a few reasons for that but N'Golo Kante is a big one. He doesn't give an opponent a second!

    I'm on holiday in Bali (someone's got to be). All the locals know about Leicester. Or Lei-ces-ter. One waiter was saying Man U need to sign Vardy. Amazing.

    Carl, Nuneaton.

    Will someone from the BBC please be fair and publish the view (well, fact) that Leicester have had absolutely NOTHING go against them all season? They've been good, but very, VERY fortunate as well.

    Leicester City have scored in 27 Premier League games this season, more often than any other team. They are five minutes away from another half-time lead.

    "Steven Taylor doesn't know what to do with Jamie Vardy. He doesn't know whether to go deep or stick with him. I would say they're missing Fabricio Coloccini, but he's been awful too. 

    "You want Jonjo Shelvey, the captain, the leader, to get on the ball. Who's going to create the chance for Newcastle tonight?

    So much pace, so much movement, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez link up well and Vardy skips into the area and sees a deflected shot edge past the post. Newcastle are seeing stars, Leicester seeing titles.

    Well I've seen it all now. Newcastle have a good attack, the ball is clipped over the top, Aleksandar Mitrovic takes it down on his chest, into the box - he's dragged down!

    By a team-mate! Moussa Sissoko got in his way and tripped him over. What are you doing?!

    Yes that Shinji Okazaka goal was brilliant, but it might only be the second best thing I've seen during this game...

    I saw a lot of goalless football this weekend, a lot of so-called possession football, a lot of endless short passing, going nowhere.

    Leicester have scored with their first effort on target and every time they get the ball they look like scoring. THIS is the blueprint. 

    Right?
