Leicester notched up their third successive clean sheet and victory at Huddersfield this afternoon to move onto 99 league points with one game remaining. They now have 30 league wins this season and have scored in 32 consecutive games in all competitions. Today's win means that City are now 13 away league games unbeaten - a club record. If they win their final league game next Saturday, the Foxes will become only the 5th team to break the 100 point barrier at this level - the records continue to tumble. Pearson made six changes to today's starting line-up with Moore, Miquel, Hammond, Wood, James and Taylor-Fletcher all starting.
Taylor-Fletcher scored the first goal of the game in the 31st minute - a sweet right-footed finish towards the top corner after good work from Lloyd Dyer. In truth, City were a little lacklustre in the first half and the match had a real end of season feel to it. At the start of the second half, Leicester played with much more intent and created numerous chances - it was a matter of time before the second goal would arrive. It took until the 75th minute for City to double their advantage, Wes Morgan nudging home a Matty James free kick. Next week's finale at the King Power Stadium promises to be a real party - a celebration of the most successful season in the club's history at this level. It will certainly be an occasion to savour for all Leicester City fans.
