Leicester captain Wes Morgan believes the Foxes success this season has permanently changed the dynamic of the Premier League. Claudio Ranieris side are five points clear at the top of the table ahead of Sundays trip to title rivals Arsenal.A 3-1 win at Manchester City last weekend saw them installed as favourites to win the league in one of the most open title races for years. We chat to Riyad Mahrez about that win at Manchester City and Leicester’s hold on top spot They beat the drop last term by winning seven of their last nine games and were widely tipped for relegation at the start of the current campaign.But, after a stunning season which has so far brought just two league defeats, Morgan feels the Foxes have altered the landscape of English football.Its a bit of a fairy tale, a big surprise to everyone, but we have real belief in ourselves and deserve to be here, said the centre-back, who still refused to talk about Leicesters chances of the title. Aaron Ramsey explains why Arsenal have to beat Leicester on Sunday to close the gap, otherwise they could be 8 points behind the leaders In Premier League history you have the top four who tend to be the outstanding teams that beat most of the teams, and this season has been a bit of a change.There have been teams promoted from the Championship coming and competing and beating the top teams. That dynamic has changed a lot this season and I think it will continue through the seasons coming.The so-called bigger teams will have to re-analyse how they go about buying players. If you have spent £100m on a player it doesnt necessarily mean they are going to bring you the title or bring you success.Teams will probably look at us and the likes of Bournemouth and Norwich and think, maybe we need to re-analyse how we go about buying our players and our policy of signing people. Jamie Vardy says Arsenals win at Leicester could have gone either way and the Foxes frontman is confident they have enough to cause the Gunners problems Leicester lost 5-2 to Arsenal in September, but Morgan was keen to look forward to Sundays match - and the run-in that follows - rather than back at that loss.That was the start of the season when everyone is trying to find their way, the 32-year-old said. This is the probably the more crunch part of the season and these next few games are going to define where everyone finishes.The pressure is definitely on Arsenal to try and prove a point. We relish that and we want to go into the game and show what we are capable of.Watch Arsenal v Leicester live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 11.30am on Sunday Also See: Key battle: Koscielny v Vardy Leicester 2-5 Arsenal - how they won Title race: Fear and cheer This time last year...
