Leicester have so far shown little sign of feeling the pressure of leading the Premier League table. Despite their unfamiliar position they've won their last three games.
However this weekend's fixture list could potentially put their resolve to the test more than ever before.
Following the international break, the Premier League resumes but the Foxes don't play their home match against Southampton until Sunday.
By that time, their two remaining title rivals - Arsenal and Tottenham - will have already resumed their campaigns. The north London clubs are in action on Saturday and are well aware that they can ill afford to drop any points between now and the end of the season if they are to stand a chance of lifting the Premier League trophy come May.
Arsenal host Watford at 3pm and Tottenham travel to Anfield to play Liverpool at 5.30pm. Should both win, Leicester's lead over Tottenham will be just two points and Arsenal will be eight behind.
So will Leicester be able to handle the pressure?
