Premier League Results: 2016 EPL Week 32 Scores, Table and Revised Title Odds

Stuart NewmanApr 3, 2016

Leicester City’s odds to lift the Premier League trophy shortened dramatically on Sunday, as the Foxes chalked up a 1-0 victory over Southampton at the King Power Stadium.

Captain Wes Morgan’s first-half header was the difference between the sides and enough to put Leicester seven points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, who slipped up at Liverpool on Saturday in a 1-1 draw.

Heavy victories for Arsenal and Manchester City over Watford and AFC Bournemouth, respectively, breathed new life into the title race, and their odds came down as a result.

Leicester City: A Sure Thing?

LEICESTER, ENGLAND - APRIL 03: Goalscorer Wes Morgan of Leicester City celebrates with his team mates Danny Simpson, Kasper Schmeichel, Christian Fuchs and Nathan Dyer of Leicester City at the end of the Barclays Premier League match between Leicester Cit

The fairytale story that is Leicester City’s surge to the top of the Premier League is showing no signs of coming to a premature end.

They say narrow victories are the sign of champions, and the Foxes have seemingly become the masters of scraping their way through matches.

The win over Southampton on Sunday was their fifth 1-0 in their last six games, so it’s little wonder their odds to win the English top flight for the first time are falling.

Having started the season at 5,000-1 outsiders with some bookmakers, Claudio Ranieri’s men are now red-hot 2-7 favourites.

Morgan netted his first goal of the season to send Leicester seven points clear at the top of the table, and it was well worth waiting for. The Foxes’ official Twitter account revealed the euphoria as the defender found the back of the net:

Tottenham have previously looked worthy of catching Leicester, but they’ll look at their 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield as two points dropped rather than one gained.

Harry Kane continued his impressive goalscoring exploits with a well-taken equaliser just after the hour mark, and Spurs could easily have snatched a win at the death.

As it was, Tottenham had to settle for a draw, although manager Mauricio Pochettino remains confident in his side’s title-winning credentials—via ESPN:

"

We have six games ahead and we need to believe. In football all can happen. It was difficult to come here and try and win the three points but we were calm and we believe in our quality. We feel a little bit disappointed for dropping two points but we need belief and be ready for the next game which will be a tough game against Manchester United.

Spurs’ odds to win the title went up from 11-4 to 11-2 over the week, and with tricky-looking fixtures to come, that’s hardly a surprising price.

Their next match against Manchester United could well see their challenge peter out, although the Red Devils didn’t look at their sharpest against Everton.

Anthony Martial’s second-half strike secured the win for Louis van Gaal’s side and kept them in touch with fourth-place Manchester City, who are just a point ahead of their rivals.

City showed they still have what it takes to win the title on Saturday, as they put together a ruthless display against AFC Bournemouth.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men saw their odds tumble from 100-1 to 66-1 overnight, and based on recent form, they could be worth a flutter.

City welcome West Bromwich Albion to the Etihad Stadium next time around, while fellow title outsiders Arsenal face a tricky-looking trip to West Ham.

But all eyes will be firmly on Leicester City when the Premier League returns on April 9.

The Foxes travel to struggling Sunderland, who—like Leicester last season—are battling for their Premier League lives.

Ranieri will need to ensure his side put together another professional display at the Stadium of Light, and it would be far from a surprise to see another 1-0 win that would send their title odds tumbling even more.
