Manchester United vs. Leicester City 2016 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch online

One more win in this remarkable season, and Leicester City and their fans can celebrate for real.

Raise your hands if you saw this scenario coming before the season started: on the first day of May, Leicester City can win the Premier League title by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Now put your hand down, because you’re lying.

This season has been absolutely remarkable for Leicester City and their fans, and there’s still one last special moment to come. One more win, and against the team that has won more EPL titles than anyone else no less, and they’ll have won the league in just their second season back up from the Championship.

That’s a story worthy of awe, and their success has been no fluke. They’ve been a legitimately excellent team from the very first match of the campaign, and to see their highest moment come in the so-called Theater of Dreams would be a wonderfully appropriate moment.

Key player -- Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)

With Jamie Vardy still serving a suspension, it will be up to Mahrez to carry the load of Leicester’s attack in this crucial match. That shouldn’t be any great concern for Leicester fans, though, because the Algerian attacker has been phenomenal all season long, with 17 goals and 11 assists to his name, not to mention a long trail of defenders in his wake that he’s left utterly embarrassed. If he can pull out some of his usual magic in this match, the title will be all but won.

Key matchup -- player vs. N’Golo Kante (Leicester City)

Kante has had a remarkable season operating at the base of Leicester’s midfield, locking down opposing attacking midfielders all year long with an inspiring ease. Whether Rooney starts up top or plays behind the striker in this match, he’s going to drift back towards midfield often enough that he’s going to have to tangle with Kante frequently -- and considering the struggles the English striker has had this season, that’s not an appealing thing for United fans to consider. If Kante can do his usual work on Rooney, it’s going to make life a lot easier for his teammates as they try to deal with the rest of Rooney’s teammates.
