Leicester can win the Premier League title this Sunday following Tottenham's slip-up against West Brom.
A 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane on Monday Night Football means Claudio Ranieri's side are now just one win away from pulling off one of sport's biggest shocks.
Leicester began the season as 5,000-1 outsiders, but victory at Manchester United on Super Sunday will guarantee the first league title in the club's 132-year history.
City will go to Old Trafford without their top scorer Jamie Vardy, who will be given a one-match ban for improper conduct for his angry reaction to a red card against West Ham.
But a goal from PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez set the leaders on their way to a 4-0 win over Swansea in Vardy's absence on Sunday, and they now need just three points from remaining games against United, Everton and Chelsea.
Spurs are the last team left with a chance of catching Leicester, but a seven-point gap at the top means defeat at Chelsea on Monday night will spell the end of their challenge whatever the outcome at Old Trafford a day earlier.
