Will United be the odd champs in an odd season?

For two decades, it was entirely normal. Whenever Manchester United were top of the table, it looked entirely natural. Now it feels a more surreal sight.

After all, Leicester City have been champions more recently than United. But now the fallen giants could go six points clear of Liverpool today. They might be propelled into the position of favourites. It would be a swift change in fortunes. If, as is often said, this is a strange season, this is one of the oddest title challenges.
