Manchester United 1-1 Leicester City: Barclays Premier League as it happened
- Draw at Old Trafford means Foxes must wait for the title
- Leicester will be crowned champions if Tottenham fail to beat Chelsea on Monday
- Anthony Martial and Wes Morgan on the scoresheet,Danny Drinkwater sent off
- Marouane Fellaini facing possible ban after elbow on Robert Huth
A breathless first half comes to a close. Manchester United started wonderfully, but Anthony Martial's fine opener was cancelled out by Wes Morgan's header.
Leicester will feel they should have had a penalty after Riyad Mahrez was floored in the box by Marcos Rojo. They might also feel they should be playing against 10 men after Fellaini landed an elbow on Robert Huth, but referee Michael Oliver took no action on both occasions. As it stands, the Foxes will not be crowned champions this afternoon.
Schlupp almost catches De Gea out with a looping effort but the Spaniard claws the ball out from just under the bar. It falls to Mahrez just inside the box and he takes on Rojo, only to be blocked off by the Argentine. Surely that's a penalty? Michael Oliver waves away the appeals and urges Mahrez to get up.
Simpson makes a horrible mess of a simple pass on the half way line and Lingard jumps onto it. He breaks forward and it's a straight race between the two, who are grappling with each other all the way as they reach the box. Lingard goes down, but Michael Oliver waves play on. It looked a fair decision, Simpson did very well to catch up there.
Martial gives United the lead! Lingard drives forward again before freeing Valencia down the right. His first touch takes the ball inside Fuchs and his cross just evades Rashford in the box, but Martial comes in behind him to sweep the ball under Schmeichel. Wonderfully cool finish, United are spoiling the party at the moment.
Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is in the house this afternoon. Following the club's promotion to the top flight in 2014, he revealed the club's master plan; a top five finish within three years with a budget of £180m. They are now on the brink of winning the league having spent £55m. Not bad.
Leicester need three points from their remaining three games to win the league. Even if they don't do it today, surely it is now written in the stars. The romantic narrative of the most unlikely of sporting achievements will be hard to escape from for some time. And for good reason. In a game where disillusionment is so easy to come by, it's nice to have something that, for once, defies logic in a good way. This season, the elite Premier League cartel has been rocked like we have never seen in the modern era. It's going to be one hell of a party.

Claudio Ranieri has been cool as a cucumber all season, why would he change now?
I feel it's very important to be concentrated, because the story is fantastic, but we have to be focused on the match. "Now is the real chance to win the title, next season you never know what will happen – once in a lifetime. I believe next season Manchester United will be at the top, Chelsea at the top, Arsenal at the top...and we will be fighting.
Team news: Manchester United
Louis van Gaal has no fresh injury concerns this afternoon and could name the same team that beat Everton in their FA Cup semi-final last week. Luke Shaw, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Will Keane remain out. Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who was taken off during the win over the Toffees after giving away a penalty, will be hoping to retain his place in the starting XI.
Here we are then. Leicester City are a few hours away from being crowned champions. What better way to crown their incredible story with victory over the Premier League's most successful side?
It's not very often Manchester United are the sideshow. That's the role they are playing today. While they have their own top four aspirations, all eyes will be on the Foxes today. One of the most remarkable successes in sporting history awaits.
