Leicester. Is. Excited.

Actually, that's an understatement. Leicester is going wild!

In case you've been under a rock - this is the deal. If they beat Manchester United this weekend, they'll WIN the Premier League, with two games to go of the 2015/16 season.

Not bad for a club that narrowly missed relegation last year, and only got into the league the year before. So, no surprise the city's celebrating pretty hard.

These are just some of the ways people there are #backingtheblues

First up, local dining's gone a bit questionable in honour of the side.

King Richard III, whose remains were found under a car park in the city in 2012, is getting on board too.

Two hundred blue balloons were let off at a local college, buildings are being lit up blue and people are going to work there pretty much in fancy dress.

We're not even sure what this guy's up to...

Some are making more simple gestures.

Meanwhile, a giant fox has appeared in Leicester University's car park.
