I can't think about many teams which are capable of beating Leicester at this part of the season other than United.
United:
a) still in the battle for CL sport (in fact, they need to win all their remaining games and hope City and Arsenal won't draw against each other or will loose points in one of other two games. It is far from impossible because City have tough CL games midweek and arse look like collapsing)
b) play at home
c) have a good record this season against top-6/8 teams
d) have a run of solid perfomances (at least considering result)
e) have several players who can win the game on their own (de Gea, Martial f.e.)
Problem is I don't see Leicester loosing any more points this season. For me it's even less likely than us winning all remaining games.
I don't know what were bookies thinking about when they were giving Leicester 21/50 odds to win the title before their game against Swansea. The same thing with Barcelona winning La-Liga and 9/20 odds before last game. Both of them looked like a steal.

Neither stones or Mori can defend
Evertons best defence is their attack
They have players who can hurt Leiceter and do a job and as I said earlier in this thread, thy believe they owe Leiceter one for the way they were "robbed" at home
United are well organised and know a win can put pressure on Arsenal in 4th. They haven't given up yet on a champions league place from what I've seen
First and foremost we have to win our games though

We need to be in first place going into the final day. If there is even the slightest chance that we can win the league, Chelsea will let Leicester win. Do you actually imagine John Terry on his final game for Chelsea throwing his body on the line and giving it all to win the league for Tottenham? Not a chance. Forget about players being "professional", the conduct that these scumbags showed in the first half of the season showed just how unprofessional they are. Whilst they won't just turn around and boot the ball into their own net, they will carelessly give the ball away, not chase down lose balls, not press the opposition and not track back to stop Leicester's pacey counter attacks. And their fans will love them for it.
The performance from Swansea yesterday was pathetic - a blatant case of a team with absolutely nothing to play for who would like to see their opposition winning the league. Unless Leicester have already secured the title, that is going to happen again at Stamford Bridge on the final day. Our only hopes now are a Man Utd side chasing a Champions League spot and an Everton team looking to prove themselves to a new manager.
Quite simply - if Leicester don't drop at least five points in those two games - they have won the title.

This match is truly the key, of course if Utd can do us the favour first. I really think that the Scum are catchable for United and hope they will be going all out for the 3 points.

I think we all know thy we have to be level at least to have it in our hands for that last game
Chelsea will throw it but we did the same thing at Old Trafford when arse could have won it - although we actually weren't good enough to beat them IMO
Chelsea are but I wouldn't expect them to do anything based on what I've seen this season

I was only stating it in the context of the Premier League as we have never finished that high in that current competition. I am aware we have finished 3rd several times in the Top division.
I am also aware that 2 more wins and Pochettino will have delivered us our highest league finish for over 50 years.
As a sidenote, how does this effect the Uefa Cup and the Europa League, are they classed as different comps? If we were ever to the EL, Would we have won it once or would it be classed as a 3rd Uefa Cup?

As far as I know its just some fans being paranoid as usual.
All we can do is win our 4 remaining games. Doing that gives us a chance, can't really any more. What Chelsea will do is what they will do.
I think it's an awful thing to question teams professionalism, but it really does appear that most of the opposition managers/players/fans want Leicester to win. Hazard, Fabreagas, Hiddink, hell even Guidolin before kick off yesterday. Makes it very hard to believe opposition sides are at all motivated to even try and stop them anymore.
Anyway like I said, just win our games and what will be will be.

I don't think Zenit will finish on CL spot this season. Rostov and CSKA will be top-2 in RPL.
Scum or City take the last place in Pot 2 if they get 4th.
This is of course based on us finishing 2nd. Leicester, Real Madrid please.
Still it doesn't change much.

I actually think of they had not won yesterday he wouldn't get a ban but will now as they did win... Perverse logic of the FA

If the boot was on the other foot and Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea were second, we would all be rooting for Leicester.
Also whoever does beat the Leicester's of this world, would be as popular as the guy who shot Bambi to the vast majority 'of the world' let alone england.

That's the bit I struggle with, I would be much less adverse to them winning it if people told the truth, they have fluked and clogged their way to the top. It's this "it's a wonderful story, little Leicester playing fantastic football and winning the league" gonad* that hacks me off.

It's not looking any less likely now than it did before the Swansea game, in my opinion. Dismayed by the Chelsea-antics, of course, but I expect them to at least try to play a football game against Leicester. If it's still exciting come the last day of the season, it means we've been doing very well anyway.
I still think Leicester are capable of losing or drawing against ManU, Everton and Chelski. I'm thinking they're going to get 4 more points. Should be just enough for us to beat them on goal difference.
