What Would Leicester City Winning the Premier League Mean for English Football?

Three points—the stated objective of every player, every manager, every owner and every supporter on a weekly basis.

This places Leicester City's upcoming visit to Manchester United in an interesting light. A victory for the Foxes at Old Trafford wouldn't be an ordinary three points, but possibly solidify the greatest accomplishment in the history of English football.

Odds of 5,000-1 at the beginning of the season was manager Claudio Ranieri's challenge. How the Italian has cultivated a title-winning side from the mostly tattered remains of former manager Nigel Person's 2014/15 season is beyond logic, beyond explanation—but a win against Louis van Gaal's men would place Leicester as gods in the pantheon of sporting underdogs.
