    "You'll never see a thin chef, or a skint bookie." One of my dad's sayings.

    But old Dave Rostance could well be wrong soon, as the UK's leading bookmakers face paying out more than £10m if Leicester City win the Premier League title.

    At the beginning of the season, Claudio Ranieri's side were as much as 5,000-1 to finish as champions, while the odds were 1000-1 to be top at Christmas.

    At the start of the season, 47 people placed a bet with Ladbrokes for Leicester to win the title at 5000-1 - of which 23 have cashed out, while 24 are still awaiting their fate.

    "Leicester's win would be the biggest upset in the history of betting," Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told BBC Sport. "It would be the worst result for us financially and our biggest payout by a distance.

    A couple? You're cranking up that pressure Johnny. 

    The key question could be whether or not Swansea are able to hurt Leicester? And will Riyad Mahrez - on the night of the PFA awards - find his best form?

    "This is make or break for Leicester City. If they keep their five-point lead they'll withstand the challenge of Spurs, who will yet drop points. Lose, and Tottenham will probably overtake them.

    "Leicester go into battle without Vardy - it's like Richard III fighting at the nearby Battle of Bosworth Field without 'a horse…a horse…a kingdom for his horse!' We know what happened there. , external

    Claudio Ranieri believes it is "now or never" for the Foxes to win the Premier League title.

    They are already guaranteed a top-three finish and Champions League football next season, and Ranieri say his focus is now on winning the title.

    "It is this year or never more," he told BBC sports editor Dan Roan.

    "We achieved the Champions League - a great achievement for everyone but now we try to win the title with all our strength, all our heart, our soul, everything.

    "We need eight points and we are champions, and we try to do this. I said to my players that now is the right moment to push."
