With just one month of the season left to play, things are slowly beginning to take shape at both ends of the Premier League table.
A fifth league win on the bounce for Chelsea in their meeting with Manchester United dragged them within touching distance of the title, while Manchester City closed the gap on their rivals with a 2-0 victory over West Ham United.
Events at the bottom end of the table continue to dramatically develop with each passing week, and it appears increasingly likely that the battle for survival will go right down to the wire following Leicester City's third successive win this weekend.
That triumph over a Swansea City side who have not left the top half of the table all season dragged the Foxes off the bottom of the league for the first time since November.
There was no such joy for fellow strugglers Burnley, though, who lost 1-0 at Everton, while Queens Park Rangers, Hull City and Sunderland - separated by just three points - were all without a game due to FA Cup commitments elsewhere.
