Leicester host Ipswich in a Premier League battle between second and third-bottom in the table.
Currently locked on 22 points apiece, victory would see Leicester leapfrog Ipswich into 18th position.
Ipswich simply need to avoid defeat to stay in 18th position and ahead of the Foxes going into the final day.

Stat Attack
- Leicester have avoided defeat in four of their seven previous Premier League meetings against Ipswich (W2, D2, L3)
- Ipswich are yet to win away to Leicester in the Premier League (D1, L2).
- Leicester have claimed seven points in their last four Premier League meetings against Ipswich.
- No Leicester player has produced more shots on target in the Premier League this season than Jamie Vardy (25).
- Julio Enciso has scored in two of Ipswich’s last three away games (D2, L1).
Prediction
Having found a fresh intensity to their play in their last two matches, Leicester now need to just bring that quality into their last two games and they will go down with decent momentum, having done well to clinically snatch a point at Forest despite having conceded the lead and fell behind through some sloppy defensive errors.
Ipswich meanwhile gave in-form Brentford more of a fight than I thought they would aside from Kevin Schade’s headed winner from a poorly marked corner-kick, so hopefully they will be able to bring a similar performance to this game but with more of a clinical edge.
Both teams though have little to play for so it is hard to call whether this will be an entertaining battle or a dull contest, but I do think that it will be middling with the Foxes possibly edging it on Vardy’s home farewell.
Prediction: Leicester 2-1 Ipswich
Result: Leicester 2-0 Ipswich
