Following their win over Sunderland and Tottenham's victory over Manchester United, Leicester remain seven points clear at the top of the Premier League

Leicester's nearest challengers are now on 65 points with five games to go. Working on the basis that Tottenham pick up maximum points from those matches, they would end the campaign on 80 points.

With Leicester currently on 72 points, the Foxes would need to reach 81 to be mathematically certain of the title - achievable with just three wins.

Therefore, should Leicester beat West Ham next Sunday and then win their next match, at home against Swansea, they could win the title when they play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday 1 May.
