The Premier League trophy will be presented to Leicester City captain Wes Morgan before Saturday's game against Everton after the most incredible, memorable and unpredictable title race in English football history was decided by the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham on Monday.

Yet the celebrations and jubilation at the King Power Stadium will, in many ways, be a sideshow to the weekend's main event: the increasing battle for survival which, of course, Leicester narrowly avoided a year ago. Aston Villa is down and two from Norwich, Sunderland and Newcastle will join it in having the privilege of playing Wigan next season.

The stakes could not be higher as the new TV deal which starts in August means that even the smallest, most humble of Premier League clubs will be among the top 30 richest in Europe.
