I think the league is determined as much by injury and ref decisions as anything else at this point. The margins between the top sides are so thin that I think the difference between walking the league and out of the CL isn't even very far. Chelsea and Leicester were both incredibly healthy and had decisions go their way. There's nothing wrong with that, they had enough quality to capitalize on those situations. But as we sit here today it's hard to say who will win as it's impossible to know who will be hurt by key injuries.
The similar thing for both of those clubs is that neither one of them played in Europe. People don't realize just how much harder it is when you play all those extra matches in bunches. The good thing is that all of our known rivals for the title are playing in Europe this year. So there is at least a bit of equal footing.
