Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will resume their title race in Week 27 of the 2015-16 English Premier League season this weekend.
Leicester City, who are currently on top of the table with 53 points, will face Norwich City on Saturday at King Power Stadium. They will look to bounce back from their crucial 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in Week 26.
Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri admitted that they are feeling the pressure of maintaining their slim lead in the title race. Ranieri said that they need to manage the pressure, telling his players that their upcoming match against Norwich City will be a more difficult assignment than their game against Arsenal.
"I told my players that it will be a big battle on Saturday," Ranieri told reporters via the league's official website. "It will be harder than against Arsenal. I want to see my players concentrated and angry because of the way we lost in the last minute [at Arsenal]. We want to grow and stay at a high level."
Meanwhile, the Tottenham Hotspur will look to sustain their momentum when they collide with Swansea City on Sunday at White Hart Lane. Tottenham have won in their last five matches and are just two points behind Leicester City with 51 points from 14 wins, nine draws and three defeats.
On the other hand, Arsenal also have 51 points but Tottenham have superior goal difference. The Gunners will travel to Old Trafford on Sunday to face Manchester United, who are currently fifth in the Premier League table.
