Ahead of Leicesters trip to Arsenal, Soccer Saturdays Johnny Phillips spoke to Riyad Mahrez about the Foxes unexpected title bid, their Super Sunday test at the Emirates and scoring that goal at Manchester City... It is hard to pin down what the best bit about Leicesters second goal against Manchester City last weekend actually was.It was a typically thrilling counter-attack. There was the power of NGolo Kante as he brushed off his assailants. And then Riyad Mahrezs clever dink over the hapless lunge of Nicolas Otamendi. Jamie Vardy Exclusive Jamie Vardy says Leicester can hurt Arsenal Next there was his feint left and switch to the right, which left Martin Demichelis turned like a pub player. And it was all topped off by the thumping finish past Joe Hart with his weaker right foot. Riyad Mahrez fires in Leicesters second at Man City It was Mahrezs best goal of the season, he said so himself. But how he scored it? Hes not sure.When I came into the one versus one with Demichelis I thought that hed think I would go left because Im left-footed. That came into my head but so quickly. You dont have time to think really, you just do your things. Its a little bit of thinking about it and then the rest is just…well, I dont know…just me. You dont control things like that. Mahrez appears to have the ball on the end of a piece of string, such is his mastery and control of it, but he hasnt always played with such confidence.His first season in England could even be called anonymous, with infrequent glimpses of his true potential. He didnt convince Claudio Ranieri straight away either; the manager dropped him to the bench for successive games against Norwich and Southampton in October. Goals & assists Riyad Mahrez is the first Premier League player to hit double figures for both goals (14) and assists (10) this season. The explanation then was that he may be tired after international appearances for Algeria, but there was an underlying doubt about his ability to perform consistently at the highest level.Another Algerian in this country is his international midfield team-mate Adlene Guedioura of Watford. I spoke to Guedioura this week about Mahrez and what it is that makes him so unique. Are Leicester the new Forest? Exploring the similarities between Claudio Ranieris Leicester and Brian Cloughs Nottingham Forest. He plays every match as if it is a five-a-side. Guedioura believes Mahrez is one of a kind in his carefree approach to football - be it in training, the Premier League or at international level. He goes out to play with the idea of having fun.Leicesters players are so obviously enjoying this incredible season. It is part of what has got them to where they are. The pressure has never been on. Now, for the first time, they are being tipped to actually go on and win the Premier League. Mahrez believes nothing much has changed, but admits the players are eyeing top spot come May. When you taste first place, if you then go and finish fourth you will be disappointed. But theres no pressure, just positive pressure. Riyad Mahrez To be first is something special. Especially for Leicester, were not used to this, Mahrez explains. When you taste first place, if you then go and finish fourth you will be disappointed. But theres no pressure, just positive pressure.Sundays trip to Arsenal ends a run of three supposedly tough games. The way Liverpool and Manchester City have been swept aside, no-one would rule out another victory. The trip to the capital is one Mahrez is looking forward to. Leicesters unheralded stars We look at some of Leicesters less heralded stars and why they left their former clubs Home games are fantastic with our fans, but the away games are good because weve won a lot, he said. Maybe we find more space in [away games] especially against the big teams because they have more of the ball.Is surrendering possession something he and his team-mates are comfortable with? We never have possession anyway, its not our quality. We prefer to leave the ball, be solid and then counter-attack.Mahrez and Jamie Vardy are the headline acts at Leicester. The two of them are frontrunners to be named as PFA Player of the Year. Ranieris team have quality right the way through, though, and there is one player Mahrez singles out for special praise. Who has the best midfield? We analyse the key midfielders at Leicester, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man City NGolo Kante. Hes phenomenal. Hes everywhere on the pitch. Hes a very big player, says Mahrez.At £5.5m Kante didnt come quite as cheaply as the £400,000 bargain Mahrez, but hes another success for the clubs recruitment department. The side that won so well at the Etihad Stadium was assembled for several million pounds less than City paid for Otamendi alone.Arsenal have been served a warning. Should another title rival be conquered on Sunday, Leicester will have an even firmer grip on top spot. Now, its still a dream, adds Mahrez. Well see when were going to wake up.Riyad Mahrez was speaking at Wigston Academy ahead of the Playstation Schools Cup tournament.Watch Arsenal v Leicester live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 11.30am on Sunday Also See: Key battle: Koscielny v Vardy Title race: Fear and cheer Leicester 2-5 Arsenal - how they won This time last year...

The scientists believe the small earthquake during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown was likely greater than Lynchs famous "beast quake" touchdown run three years ago, which also came against New Orleans during a playoff game.Before the Stanley Cup Final began, Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville decided to split up the dynamic duo of Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane against the Boston Bruins. Neither player had a point in Chicagos 4-3 triple overtime victory in Game 1. Kane assisted on the Blackhawks lone goal in the Game 2 loss. And Game 3 was a shutout loss. So Toews and Kane have combined for one assist in three games of the championship series, in which the Blackhawks are facing a 2-1 deficit. Is it time to get back to basics? Should the Blackhawks reunite Toews and Kane? If so, who should play on the left side? In the regular season, Kane led the team in scoring with 55 points, followed closely by Toews at 48. Both players shared the team lead in goals with 23. Currently, Toews is centering a line with Marian Hossa, who missed Game 3 due to injury, and rookie Brandon Saad. Kane is playing on a line with Patrick Sharp and Michal Handzus. Neither line appears to be showing much offensive spark, especially in the last two games with the Blackhawks scoring just one goal on Tuukka Rask. Another power outage in Game 4 could result in Quennevilles crew heading home facing elimination on Saturday night. So it seems like an easy decision to put your two best plaayers on the ice at the same time to maximize your offensive output.dddddddddddd But doing so would give the Bruins the opportunity to utilize the imposing Zdeno Chara against the undisputed top line in every situation. If Chara and defensive partner Dennis Seidenberg are successful in neutralizing Toews and Kane, the Blackhawks would be left with a weaker second line that would be required to take on a bigger role. Should Toews and Kane be put back together, who should join them on the left side? Saad has only five points in the playoffs so far, including a goal in Game 1. Sharp is tied for the team lead in playoff scoring with 15 points, including the lone goal in Game 2. Bryan Bickell was the Hawks most consistent player coming into the Final but his ice time has gone down considerably in each game - it was less than 12 minutes in Game 3. Having said that, he would bring a size element that Toews and Kane may require to somewhat offset Charas physicality. Should the Blackhawks stay the course and keep Toews and Kane apart in hopes that one of their lines will start producing? Or should Quenneville put all his eggs in one basket and take his chances against Chara? And who should be the third egg on the line? As always, its Your! Call.
