It looks like the pivotal weekend of the Premier League season with the top four all in action on a blockbuster Super Sunday. Yeezy 700 2020 Fake . Its going to be fast and furious, and absolutely crucial to the outcome of the the title race.All four teams are 5/1 or less with Sky Bet to win the title. As things stand Leicester are their 15/8 favourites, Arsenal 2/1, Manchester City 10/3 and Tottenham at 5/1. Expect a big shake-up on Sunday. First up, its third against first. Arsenal against Leicester. All the pressure is on the Gunners. Its D-Day for them - if they lose surely its all over. Win and it really is game on with the gap at the top reduced to just two points.Sky Bet clearly expect Arsenal to do that as they are odds on at 7/10 to win in Sunday, with Leicester 7/2 and the draw a 3/1 chance.The onus is on Arsenal so Leicester can sit back, let the home side dominate possession and then try and pick them off as they have done repeatedly this season. The less they have of the ball, arguably the more dangerous they will be, which gives Arsene Wenger quite a tactical conundrum. Do they trust their quality and go on the attack, which could play in to Leicesters trap, or do they play with caution? Arsenal beat Leicester 5-2 at the King Power in their previous Premier League meeting The games where Leicester have struggled have been when teams have sat back and forced Claudio Ranieris side to break them down. Aston Villa and Bournemouth are the two most recent examples. That is not Wenger or Arsenals way. I cant wait because this is going to be absolutely fascinating.How big a mental barrier is getting over the line in a title race and winning the pivotal matches? On the last 11 occasions Arsenal have faced a team that was top of the table, they have won just once (D4, L6) and scored only four goals (conceding 18). The win against Bournemouth got the Gunners back on track and now they have to show theyve got the metal to be champions. The Gunners got their title charge back on track with victory over Bournemouth Leicester will have plenty of backers at 7/2. Wasnt it great to see them making headlines on bulletins as the new favourites for the title having been 5,000/1 at the start of the season?Its one of the great stories and them winning would be one of the biggest shocks in sporting, not just football, history. Its not one fluke punch, goal or shot. Its been consistent brilliance over seven months, which has taken everyone by surprise. Its brilliant for the game. Arsenal face defining moment Arsenal must prove mental strength against Leicester, says Alan Smith What makes it all the more remarkable is that after 25 games last season Leicester were bottom of the table with 17 points, and were staring down the barrel five points from safety. At the same stage this time around they are five points clear at the top.They may be title favourites but theyre still 15/8 despite the fact six of the last seven and ten of the last 12 teams to have led the Premier League table after 25 games have gone on to win the title (Arsenal led in 2007-08 but Man Utd won title, Chelsea led in 2013-14 but Man City won title). In any other year Tottenham would be a sensational story in their own right. Mauricio Pochettino has done an incredible job. They were a massive price themselves at the start of the season and are now down to 5/1 with Sky Bet to be crowned champions. I was a big Pochettino fan from his time at Southampton and put Tottenham up in this column to finish in the top four at the start of the season. Now Im wishing Id tipped them to win the title!They have a great opportunity, which theyve not had for a long time as this is the first time since the 1984-85 season that Tottenham have been in top two at this stage of a season. Win on Sunday and they really are in business. Manuel Pellegrini will be replaced by Pep Guardiola in the summer They could also be catching Manchester City at just the right time. Graeme Souness, Thierry Henry and Alan Smith discussed in the Super Sunday studio the effect the news that Pep Guardiola will replace Manuel Pellegrini in the summer has, and will have, on the team and dressing room.Graeme said it should be a positive with players desperate to impress ahead of Peps arrival. From the evidence of Saturdays defeat to Leicester, it seems to have had the opposite effect. Its hard to see too many punters steaming in on City at even money. Can Spurs stop Aguero? Can Tottenham stop in-form Sergio Aguero? They have not produced this season in the key matches. Incredibly, City have not won against any of the other sides currently in the top six. In fact, their last win against a top six side was all the way back in May 2015, and that was against Tottenham. Sergio Aguero has 14 goals in 18 league appearances for City this season They are so reliant on Sergio Aguero right now, who has scored seven of Citys last nine league goals, including each of the last four. His shoot-out with Harry Kane is going to be vital.For all their troubles, City still have the best home record in the Premier League this season with 28 points from nine wins, one draw and three defeats. One of those defeats came last weekend but they havent lost successive home league games in over seven years.Tottenham havent won at the Etihad since May 2010 and have lost on their last five visits, but this current Spurs side have been lethal on the road and are currently on a club-record 11 Premier League away games unbeaten.Spurs could be popular at 13/5 as could the draw at 13/5. Pochettinos team are so hard to beat. However, its a fixture City usually win - they have won eight of the last ten meetings scoring 29 goals in the process - but Tottenham broke the spell, winning the first meeting this season 4-1 at White Hart Lane in September. Kevin De Bruyne put City ahead before Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld, Harry Kane and Erik Lamela launched a Spurs onslaught. Sandwiched between those two matches we also have Aston Villa looking to win again to keep their great escape alive against a Liverpool side and manager who badly need a boost.What a day it promises to be.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hey Kerry, would love to hear your explanation that distinguishes Andrew Shaws goalie interference in Game 3 (not enough to warrant a penalty, just enough to erase the goal?) from the entire body of work of Tomas Holmstroms career scoring goals in the blue paint. Not to mention the nudge Shaw gets from the Detroit defenceman and he still doesnt even contact Howard!?! That was a real momentum swinger in the game. How do you see it? Campbell Mayer Kerry, Was the disallowed Blackhawks goal that would have tied the game the right call or do you see it more as a makeup call for blowing a possible boarding call on the Patrick Kane goal? Thanks man. Keep it up! Ryan Morrill Campbell and Ryan: The Referees decision to disallow Andrew Shaws goal could be supported under the "letter of the law/rule"! As I looked at this play (video link), the only contact between Jimmy Howard and Shaw was initiated by the Wings goalkeeper when he chopped at Shaws skates a couple of times once the Hawk ventured into the top of the blue paint and in advance of the shot on goal. It is also true that there was minor contact between Shaw and the Detroit defenceman as the two players entered the goal crease. It might be worth noting that the Detroit defenceman sealed off any backdoor exit potential for Shaw if the Hawk considered this as an option; which is likely a reach for us to consider but none the less remotely plausible. Since no contact was initiated or resulted from Andrew Shaw on Jimmy Howard, the single thread under which goalie interference could be determined (again the letter of the rule) is found in 69.3—If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeepers vision and impairs his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed. For this purpose, a player "establishes a significant position within the crease" when, in the Referees judgment, his body, or a substantial portion thereof, is with the goal crease for more than an instantaneous period of time. I dont really believe that Jimmy Howards vision was obstructed but it could be said that Andrew Shaw did establish a significant position within the crease. SSince you mentioned Tomas Holmstrom, once he was flagged and put on the Refs radar screen, I have seen more than one goal disallowed when Tomas had his skates clearly outside the blue paint but established a significant portion of his rear end inside the crease and stuck in the face of the goalkeeper! Those calls surprised me at the time they were made. Yeezy 700 Inertia Outlet. I felt they were an overreaction to the spirit and intent of the interference on the goalkeeper rule. I was likewise surprised by the decision last night to disallow Andrew Shaws goal last night when Jimmy Howard made the initial save and the rebound deflected off Shaw and into the net. I wont speculate as to whether the Referee was still thinking about a potential boarding call against Niklas Hjalmarsson nor whether the whistle could possibly have been blown prior to Patrick Kanes goal as Johan Franzen lay on the ice in a heap in the Chicago end zone until well after Kanes goal. Those potential questions could only be answered in the private thought process of the Referee. What I will offer is that when Niklas Hjalmarsson struck Johan Franzen directly on the numbers of his back from close proximity to the end boards, a boarding infraction occurred. Since Franzen was able to put his hands up as protection against a full face-plant into the boards only a minor penalty for boarding was deserved. This series is certainly turning nasty. Several battles in front of and behind the net resulted in hard slashes, cross-checks and punches to the head between combatants. Sometimes unsportsmanlike conduct penalties even resulted. Holding on the other hand was always called whenever a player used his free-hand to gain an advantage or momentarily detain his opponent! I cite the last game played in the San Jose—Los Angeles series as one that was very well officiated. The game had great intensity throughout with hard hits being allowed throughout and a consistent standard of enforcement was adopted. The players were allowed to play on the edge throughout the entire game but when infractions occurred there was no reluctance to call them. The two penalties called in the dying minutes of regulation with the score tied were "must call" infractions that were not avoid by the Referee. That standard, my friends, is the model that I hope all the Refs will follow throughout the balance of these playoffs. ' ' '
