League position doesn't indicate how tough a team are to beat

It only takes a draw to go to a replay. Like I said, Burnley play far more open and are higher up the league because of it, but a side effect of that is they are more vulnerable to defeats wheras Leiceser play quite defensively under Pearson and tend to draw a lot.

Leicester may be worse than Burnley based on league position (remember Sven was in charge for the first 3 months this season at LCFC) but they certainly have a better squad and have only just started to fulfill their potential under a good tier 2 manager. Don't use league position as an indicator as to how easy or tough a team are to beat, remember our play off season?
