The entire city of Leicester: If you didn't know already, Sunday's game at Old Trafford will see Leicester win the Premier League title should they secure all three points. It's impossible to overstate what an achievement this would be - a team many earmarked for relegation about to ensure they finish top of the division. Doing it at the home of the richest and most successful club in the land just adds to the fairytale.
Best stat…
7: Manchester United have conceded just seven goals at Old Trafford this season - the meanest defence in the league. In fact the home form of Louis van Gaal's side is impressive, with just two defeats in 17 games. 11 sides, including the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal, have suffered defeat at Old Trafford, while Manchester City and West Ham United could only leave with a point.
Remember when…
Leicester beat Manchester United 5-3. Jamie Vardy (who won't be involved this weekend because of suspension) scored on that September afternoon in 2014 in a game that seemed like a one-off, a freak result. After what we've seen so far this season, such a scoreline again wouldn't seem so strange.
Player to watch…
Leonardo Ulloa: Much was made of Vardy's red card against West Ham and the impact it could have on Leicester's title run-in. However, any fears that the Foxes could retreat into a hole have been dismissed thanks to Ulloa. It was the Argentine's injury-time penalty that secured a draw with the Hammers and then he scored a double in the 4-0 win over Swansea last weekend. If he continues to fire, Leicester could well be celebrating winning the league on Sunday night.
