Leicester City Football Club will celebrate their dream Premier League title in style on Saturday with a pre-match party involving world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli.

The Italian singer will serenade the Foxes' title-winning players before Saturday's home game with Everton, after which they will collect the Premier League trophy following a fairytale triumph that was clinched on Monday.

Bocelli will perform at the King Power Stadium as a personal favour to his fellow Italian Claudio Ranieri, Leicester's title-winning manager. Other special guests at the game will include the club's famous ‘Ice Kings' of the 1960s.

Ranieri was applauded on Thursday at his first pre-match press conference since his side were crowned champions, as more than 100 journalists raised glasses of champagne to toast the popular 64-year-old.

He revealed plans for Bocelli's performance were born around two months ago, long before Ranieri conceded publicly that his side were title contenders.

"He called me one-and-a-half or two months ago and he was so happy at what's happening to Leicester," said Ranieri. "About singing, he said ‘why not?'

"Then I give all my info to the club and they made all the arrangements and everything -- for all of Leicester and the community.

Bocelli will begin the afternoon's celebrations on Saturday while the ‘Ice Kings' -- the Leicester side who narrowly missed out on the old First Division title in 1963 -- will be presented to the crowd at half-time.

Leicester captain Wes Morgan will receive the Premier League trophy after the game.

Football can inspire people from all walks of life, even the Swiss watchmaker.
