Why they can do it: Big bucks Leicester have one of the most enviable squads in the division. Backed by rich Thai investors, the Foxes can call on the likes of former England internationals David Nugent and Paul Konchesky.
However, after a dramatic slump since February, when promotion, or at least a play-off spot, seemed assured Leicester are now scrapping for their lives.
Currently in sixth after their first win in ten games against Bolton last night, Leicester have the advantage of knowing their fate is in their own hands.
Two wins will probably be enough to seize the sixth automatic spot, also facilitating the momentum for play-off success. In addition, with by far the best goal difference of those around them, Leicester have an extra safety blanket.
Why they can't do it: Leicester have the hardest run in of any of the contenders. The impressive win against Bolton last night was the first of their four games, all against teams in the top eight.
A team of ridiculous inconsistency, heartbreak would be a familiar story after being nearly men for each of the last three seasons.
The team at manager Nigel Pearson's disposal is good enough to be promoted without question. Yet with a terrible knack of conceding critical late goals could it be desolation yet again for the Foxes' fans?
