Leicester appear to have taken another giant stride to winning their first ever Premier League title thanks to their victory over Swansea on Sunday.

The result moved the Foxes eight points clear of nearest rivals Tottenham, who play West Brom on Monday night.

So what must Leicester do to win the title?

If Tottenham win their remaining four games Leicester must collect five points from their remaining three games - which means the earliest they could win title would be at home to Everton on Saturday May 7.

When is the earliest Leicester could win the title?

If Tottenham lose to West Brom on Monday then Leicester would need just two points, meaning they could win the title by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday 1 May.

What must happen for Tottenham to win the title?

If Tottenham win all their games they will lift their first title since the 1960/61 season should Leicester fail to amass more than four points from their remaining three games. One defeat and one draw for Leicester would be enough.
