Fifteen points over the next seven games will bring the title to Leicester regardless of what any other team does.

They are keeping the ball neatly as they set off in pursuit of the first three.

Riyad Mahrez's deft lay-off finds N'Golo Kante but the Foxes anchorman is levered off the ball by Victor Wanyama.

The battle of the two anchormen will be key today.

And we are go.

The King Power is bubbling in the spring sunshine.

The teams are out. The stage is set. The free doughnuts are being devoured.

Here we go.

Yullaw: Leicester is the 2008 version of #MUFC, external Vardy (Rooney), Mahrez (Ronaldo) & Okazaki (Tevez).

Shane Daly: Leicester are due more than a 1 nil win. Vardy is due some club goals. People are writing them off too soon or too late.

Can Leicester hold their nerve and keep their stranglehold on the top of the league?

Chief football writer Phil McNulty sees title-winning traits in their recent form:

"Title winners are characterised as much by the results they grind out as well as the days when it all goes smoothly.

"Ranieri's side have won their past three games by a single goal, keeping clean sheets - and getting three points at potentially hazardous places such as Watford and Crystal Palace."

Leicester's Thai owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in in the posh seats sporting a turtle neck/suit jacket combo.

It takes some time before he can place buttock to seat as half the stand queue up to shake his hand, get his autograph and share their gratitude and disbelief.

A giant banner is unfurled in the home section wishing him a happy birthday. And now a plane flies over dragging the same message.

Heady, crazy, slightly surreal, days.

Shinji Okazaki's scissor-kick winner for Leicester against Newcastle is just one of 10 pearlers in March's Goal of the Month competition.

Voting is open to pick your favourite.

Walk this way to have your say.

Jay: The Foxes aimed for the moon (40 pts) and are headed for the stars (the title). Maybe it's time to reverse the age old saying  

Abdul Said: I still believe there is going to be a big swing starting from today and Leicester will not finish top.

If the pressure is building on Leicester, they are bearing up pretty well by the looks of their pre-match warm-up.

Riyad Mahrez is galloping around in the Midlands sunshine with a broad grin on his face, Danny Drinkwater and Jamie Vardy share a joke and Wes Morgan shows a neat shift of feet to beat his man in a game of keep ball.

"It was awful. The way they started the game, there was no intensity, it was a question of how many they were going to get beat by. They had nothing yesterday at all, Chelsea were walking through them at will. If they stick with that squad of players, they could go down again next season."

"The fans are hurting. It's inevitable they're going to get relegated. The important thing is now is they get a manager in as soon as possible. Somebody like Mick McCarthy, Nigel Pearson, Steve Bruce - managers who have experience of getting clubs out of the Championship."

"You'd like to think Ben Foster, who's playing regularly in the Premier League and playing well, would have a chance. No disrespect to Tom Heaton, but he's playing in the Championship."

On Jack Butland and Rob Elliott's injuries:

"People are asking me if I've got a voodoo doll! You feel for Jack and Rob, you've got two serious injuries there. But of course I'd love to play for Stoke and Ireland this summer."

"He doesn't deserve to be the first-choice striker, given how well Harry Kane is playing. But with his goals and experience, he has to be in the squad, if he's fit."

Shay Given adds: "Harry Kane's on fire and Vardy should arguably be starting. It's a nice headache to have, they've got so many good strikers."

"It was played at a real lick. That's what sells the Premier League around the world, that intensity. Harry Kane's goal was sublime."

Amy Lawrence adds: "I think it's harsh to call it two points dropped for Tottenham. They played very well, and we'll only be able to assess the value of that point in a few hours' time."

Never mind the Premier League champion scarves.

There are plenty of freebies for Leicester fans to get stuck into at the King Power today.

The club's Thai owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has put on free doughnuts and bottle of beer for the home fans.

High on sugar and alcohol as well as expectation today.

The fella on the right has helped himself to three beers and as many doughnuts. 

He better delivery some big decibels for the home team today after that...

Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 live

"It was a little bit different at Liverpool in my time because you were expected to win the League. Leicester's players can't believe it themselves and i think it helps them. 

"I don't think Southampton will sit back and that will suit Leicester. Jamie Vardy isn't just quick. He is lightning quick."

"The supporters are nervous and excited - there are no real signs of them capitulating or dropping off the pace.

"Leicester have turned out results - conceded just 6 goals in their last 13 games, it is incredible stuff and they are really holding their nerve.

"There is genuine belief there now - confidence has grown and the belief has been there for a good few weeks if not months. The teams below them are the ones under pressure now.

"They have a cushion and even though they are playing a talented team this afternoon  but they have nothing to fear."

Leicester's team is the usual and why would you change it?

Ronald Koeman makes four changes from the starting line-up that beat Liverpool 3-2 last time out. Sadio Mane, who came on to score twice in that game, is back in first XI with Victor Wanyama, Cedric Soares and Matt Targett also included.
