The teams are in the tunnel.

Wes Morgan is smiling, Marc Albrighton is shaking his head around and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is giving all his mates a squeeze of the shoulders.

Arsenal are looking a tad more serious.

Here they come...

Former Leicester captain Matt Elliott: "A lot of the time a lot of old fluff is spoken by managers not achieving what Leicester are doing. Those manager have to answer to people above them and why they are not achieving what Leicester are achieving. They have just outmanoeuvered teams."

You're not wrong Jonathan...

A little more than 10 minutes to kick off and the pitch is getting an absolute drenching by those water jets...

The surface should be nice and zippy. Perfect.

The atmosphere is building.

"I think he is there number of candidates, also looking at Ozil what he has done at Arsenal, but the impact Mahrez has had on Leicester, what he has done to side, 14 goals, 10 assists.

"That overall impact, hopefully from a Riyad Mahrez point of view, will carry him through. I think he deserves it."

He's not had a bad season has he?

Gavin J Innes: Mertesacker? Who picked this Arsenal team? Jamie Vardy?

As mentioned earlier, Leicester City have now named an unchanged starting team in their last six Premier League games.

The last team to name the same starting XI in six successive Premier League matches was Arsenal in May 2015.

Leicester City’s successful season can be put down to the burial of Richard III…according to some fans.   

Since his burial in the City last March, close to Leicester's home ground, they have been unstoppable - their win rate has virtually doubled. 

The actor Michael Sheen has been looking at some of the goals of their star striker, Jamie Vardy, and, inspired by the commentary of BBC Leicester's Ian Stringer, has given this tale of the underdog a Shakespearean twist.

Former Chelsea and Aston Villa midfielder Andy Townsend: "What I love about Leicester is that they don't conform to any of the must-haves – must keep legs fresh, must rotate players. I love fact they are a team that is winning and enjoying it – so why change it? I see managers leaving out strikers scoring goals, players suddenly coming to the boil who are rested. Leicester forget all the rules. It's working for them and no one seems able to cope with it."

Our man Phil McNulty is already in place at Emirates and you can watch his own personal welcome here - https://www.facebook.com/BBCMOTD/posts/1015399680664098, external.

"Leicester's best top-flight finish was in the 1928-29 season, when they finished second to Sheffield Wednesday.

"They remain on course to at least emulate that, buoyed by the fact they have suffered just three defeats in their last 34 league matches.

"After their trip to Emirates they have only two games against the current top six left to play; win on Sunday and talk of a fairytale first league title will only grow.

"This pivotal fixture should tell us more about Arsenal - and their pursuit of a first title win in 12 years - than the Foxes.

"The Gunners ended a four-game winless run last weekend and cannot afford to fall into bad habits once again if they want to stay in touch."

"If Arsenal bring in Mertesacker, Vardy will relish the chance of going against him. 

"I would tick with Gabriel, he is a better defender in all round situations and he is quicker."

Kaushik Gorai: I can't stop praising Kanté. One of the main player responsible for Leicester's position. Big teams to swoop for him soon.

Gambeanö Snitch: If ever there was a time Mertesacker needed to fly the flag and prove reading the game trumps pace it's today.

Big game for the German today up against the pace of Jamie Vardy. Will he be smiling at full-time?
