    Is there a ground in the Football League that doesn't play 'Uptown Funk' 10 minutes prior to kick-off?

    Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson trouser themselves a few more quid as we get ready for the big game. Round up the horn blower, it's game time...

    From Opta: In an all-time league table, Chelsea (P4027) are seven points clear of Leicester, despite the Foxes having played 486 more games.

    We all want to see the full table, right?

    "Leicester City have been handed thousands of what are apparently known as "clapper sticks". They are what they say they are - sticks that make a clapping noise. And quite a racket it is too."

    The King Power filling up nicely as we tick toward kick-off. Just a month ago the home fans would have been forgiven for looking at this forthcoming fixture with a sense of real dread. Not now though.

    Esteban Cambiasso won the Champions League with Jose Mourinho five years ago when they were both at Internazionale. I bet a move to Leicester wasn't on either of their radars as they popped the Champagne at the Bernabeu but it's a funny old game.

    The Argentine veteran has been impressive for the Foxes this term, weighing in with four goals to boot.

    Chelsea have won their last five league games against Leicester with the likes of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Adrian Mutu on the scoresheet in years gone by. Who will get in on the act this evening?

    Or can Leicester continue their superb recent touch?

    "Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson and Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho are in very animated and amiable conversation in the tunnel here at The King Power. Chelsea's bench can get a little fiery - especially Rui Faria - but we have seen this season that Mr. Pearson is also a formidable presence in the technical area. Play nicely chaps."

    Leicester City

    Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: "We don't have any room for manoeuvre. We have five games to go and this is the first one. We have had an extra day to prepare than Chelsea but it's important to go into it with a positive mindset.

    "We have to make life difficult for Chelsea tonight. They will be champions. We want to make sure their wait is prolonged."

    Petr Cech has kept 162 clean sheets in the Premier League. Only David James (169) has more. That's the sort of pedigree Chelsea are drafting in, but where will Cech be playing next season?

    My one word to describe Jose Mourinho tonight is 'fatigued.'

    He looks tired of it as he prowls the King Power pitch. It'll soon be over Jose, you'll be on holiday soon enough.

    Boring, efficient, ruthless, whatever - what you can't deny is that Chelsea are by the far the best side in the Premier League this season and deserve to win the title.

    Right?

    Feel free to disagree but you can't argue with the numbers. Chelsea have taken 77 points from 33 games, scored 65 goals, conceded 26 and haven't lost since New Year's Day.

    We're asking you to describe Chelsea's season in one word...

    Hashim: Chelsea's line-up seems unadventurous tonight. Perhaps then 'unadventurous' is the most apt word to describe their season.

    Josh Barnes: The consummate winner Mourinho has done it again, and in more infuriating fashion than ever. Chelsea in a word? Goading.

    Dinesh Persaud: Chelsea in one word...tactical.

    "Big night in prospect at The King Power Stadium. The priorities of Leicester City and Chelsea could not be more contrasting - The Foxes aiming for a fifth successive win as they attempt to avoid relegation while three points for Jose Mourinho's team will leave them needing victory at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday to secure the Premier League title.

    "Mourinho has been defending his team from accusations from Arsenal fans that their style is "boring" - it is highly unlikely Chelsea's fans will be bored by another title.

    "Leicester, meanwhile, have been revived and are now in position to pull off an escape that looked highly unlikely just a few weeks ago."

    "The bad news for Chelsea's rivals is that at 24, Hazard is only going to get better.

    "In three or four years, I think we could be talking about the Belgian being the best player in the world - he has the potential to be that good."
