Can lightning strike twice?

Leicester City will be crowned the most unlikely of Premier League champions if they beat Man United at Old Trafford this Sunday - a feat they have managed just once before in the English top flight. 

Tony Cottee scored for the Foxes on the only occasion they managed to bag three points at Old Trafford, the diminuitive striker scoring the winner to best a United side that went on to win the Treble the following season. 

To do something they've never done, Leicester need to do something they've only managed once. Win at OT in the #EPL. History awaits. #EPL

Tony Cottee scored past a Schmeichel in Leicester's only #EPL win at OT (1-0, 97/98). Kasey Keller was in goal for the #Foxes that day.

This week the likes of Mahrez, Morgan and a next generation Schmeichel will try and emulate  the likes of Cottee, Lennon and Izzet - and there is no escaping the fact they have their work cut out. 

In 19 attempts, the Foxes have only that solitary Premier League win to their name - and they have only scored six goals in that time. 

Only 5 players have scored for Leicester at OT in the #EPL era: Mike Whitlow, Neil Lennon, Tony Cotteex2, Emile Heskey & Marcin Wasilewski.

However, Claudio Ranieri's men have been inspired all season and will take on United with the incentive of writing football history. 

A few Foxes - like Danny Simpson and Danny Drinkwater - will also be doing their utmost to prove that they could have made the grade with the Red Devils. 

Leicester's season has undoubtedly been a modern fairytale - winning the Premier League at Old Trafford, in many ways, seems a fitting way to finish.
