And so, in the mid-week games, the Foxes will be the only of the top 4 to take points.

West Ham were vicious, and Spurs really need Dembele and Alli back healthy, they don't have enough in the midfield for both of them to be out.

What do Leicester root for in the North London Derby this weekend? Arsenal win?

It's no shame losing to West Ham at Upton Park, but Arsenal...really? Wenger's job has to be on a sticky wicket.
He's in trouble. I'm not sure another FA Cup, even if he manages to win it, is going to be enough. If Arsenal can't win the league, I think Wenger needs to be rooting very hard for Leicester City, because absent a Champions League title, I can't imagine he survives if Tottenham ends up winning the league on 78 points or something.

Meanwhile, United have caught City on points (though City have a game in hand) and I'm not so sure they aren't the better of the Manchester sides at the moment. City may well need to win the CL to get back into the competition.

Probably an Arsenal win, since they are three points behind Spurs. A draw is not a bad result either. So long as they beat Watford, it might not really matter. Leicester have no more mid-week games for the rest of the year, no more than 4 games a month, and don't have to play any of the other top 4.

Can you imagine if Utd finish 4th but City win the Champions League and Liverpool win the Europa League bumping Utd down to the Europa League.

I think Leicester would like to see a draw with red cards, suspensions and injuries.
