Leicester legends Alan Smith, Matt Elliott, Simon Grayson and Steve Guppy give their reaction to one of the greatest upsets in sporting history. Sky Sports pundit Smith, who spent five years with the club between 1982-1987, told Sky Sports News HQ: Its one of those romantic stories I didnt think wed ever see at the top of the Premier League any more with the difference in money these days.The former England striker said he had never seen anything like this before, adding: I was in the stadium when Greece lifted the Euros in Portugal and that was a huge shock at the time. But this, over the course of nine months, in what I think is the most competitive league in the world, by a team that was 5000/1 at the start of the year, that nearly got relegated in the previous campaign, I just cant think of anything that equates to it.

The Arizona Coyotes havent been to the playoffs in four straight seasons and their prospects of ending that streak dont appear promising as points appear hard to come by.A safe bet is that they circle every date on the schedule against the Edmonton Oilers.The Coyotes try to record a point in their 25th straight game against the Oilers when the teams meet for the first time at Rogers Place on Sunday afternn in the back end of a home-and-home series.Arizona (7-10-2) is 14th -- and last -- in the Western Conference with 16 points, and its defense was lit up for 39 goals while going 2-6-2 on the road.But since dropping a 4-3 decision in regulation on Jan. 25, 2011, the Coyotes are 20-0-4 against the Oilers. Arizonas point streak is the longest by one team against a single opponent since the Oilers 24-game run against the Vancouver Canucks from 1985-88.We have to outwork them, Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson said. I think thats why weve been successful against them.Arizona continued the streak with a 3-2 shtout victory Friday.

With a goal against the Coyotes on Friday, McDavid has five goals and four assists in a four-game points streak, and leads the league with 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists).However, only 11 of those points (three goals, eight assists) have come at home.

Talbot is 11-7-2 with a 2.47 goals-against average, a .921 save percentage and three shutouts. Hes given up nine goals while going 0-2-1 over his last three starts versus Arizona.Doans goal Friday was only his second of the season and pushed him closer to a milestone. Now in his 21st season -- all with the Coyotes franchise dating back their final campaign in Winnipeg -- Doan needs two goals to become the 93rd player in NHL history to reach 400.Doan has nine goals in 37 career games in Edmonton, but none in his last six visits.
