Leicester are on the verge of winning the Premier League title - needing just three points from their remaining three games which they could potentially secure when they play Manchester United this weekend.

There have been a number of games along the way that have put Claudio Ranieri's side on course for the crown, notably the 22 wins already notched up this term. However, for differing reasons, some matches were more important than others.

We've collected those matches together here, with the exclusion of wins over reigning champions Chelsea, nearest challengers Tottenham and 18-time league winners Liverpool among them, highlighting just what an extraordinary season it's been for the Foxes.
