Time for a quick prayer from Stoke playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri.

We are under way.

Only one word to describe the stadium announcer at Leicester: Pumped.

"LET'S MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY," he screams.

Out comes the team onto the pitch in front of a raucous crowd. Noise level at the King Power set to max.

Steve Bower
Match of the Day commentator

"It says everything about the two clubs' seasons so far that this game is a top-seven clash.

"Leicester's consistency - just one defeat in 15 league games - means they are seven points clear of fifth place.

"Their spirit is there for all to see and, while the scoring rate may have slowed, the level of belief continues to rise as the weeks pass by.

"Stoke will certainly test that spirit. They are in good form and are well organised away from home - and a threat on the break.

"If they'd had a Vardy or a Mahrez to convert more chances, they too would be in the top four with a chance of upsetting the odds."

Let's see what the MOTD man has to say about the match...

Lots of flag waving going on at the King Power Stadium, kids on the touchline and some on the pitch.

"Mark Hughes will want to take on Leicester and beat them. Stoke don't play with an out-and-out number nine this season but the talent they have in behind is massive. The way people think about Stoke now is of flair players. Extraordinary."

If Leicester are have a season beyond their wildest dreams, then Stoke are not too far away.

Mark Hughes's side have drawn plenty of plaudits for their football this season, and are just two points off a Europa League place.

With the calibre of teams competing for the top six, for Stoke to break in there would be a superb achievement.

Bojan is on the bench but star man Xherdan Shaqiri does start today.

Stoke are without striker Marko Arnautovic who hasn't trained much this week, while Bojan is on the bench with the League Cup semi-final second leg in mind. Joselu and Jon Walters start up front.

If you'd have said Leicester will be top of the table after 23 games, people would have laughed in your face.

The appointment of veteran manager Claudio Ranieri in the summer was widely questioned but the Italian's side are exceeding all expectations.

A win for the Foxes today and who'll be laughing then?
