Looking at the form of the teams and all their fixtures I do wonder are we more likely to catch Leicester than Chelsea. Far from being a distraction a good CL run is likely to inspire Chelsea whilst Leicester may well suffer the poor finish they did last season.
But if we play, the way we have yesterday, it won't matter, we won't qualify and it's not only catching Chelsea and Leicester, we have also Spurs, West Han and Everton. So won't hold my breath.
