Despite sitting seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, Leicester City haven’t won the title yet.

With a 1-0 victory over Southampton last week, Leicester City took a giant leap towards winning their maiden Premier League crown. Tottenham Hotspur aren’t done though and will be poised to push Leicester all the way.

For weeks, we’ve looked at Spurs’ remaining fixtures as the tougher of the two. After earning a valuable point away at Liverpool, Tottenham have a more favorable run to the finish line than the Foxes, and this could help pull the title race closer than it may currently look.

At this time of year, the key is how many fixtures are against teams with something still to play for. We’ve already seen teams like Bournemouth and West Brom take their foot off the gas with little to fight for. The Cherries aren’t completely safe from relegation, but it’s highly unlikely they fall back into the scrap at the bottom.

Let’s take a look through the remaining six games for both Leicester and Tottenham. There’s a glimmer of hope for Spurs in their title bid, although they will likely need to win out from here on.
