Relegated Leicester City host promotion-chasing Millwall in an important Sky Bet Championship clash.
Victory would lift the relegated Foxes up to 22nd in the table, whilst Millwall can climb to second with a win or draw until at least Saturday lunchtime.
Team News
Leicester have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 2-2 draw at home to Hull on Tuesday evening, although Jordan James is set to be rested as he continues to manage a heel injury which has affected him in recent weeks.
Millwall have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 3-1 win at Stoke.
Alfie Doughty (calf), Joe Bryan (muscle), Billy Mitchell (ankle), Lukas Jensen (Achilles), Dan Kelly (hamstring), Benicio Boaitey-Baker (groin) and Massimo Luongo (knee), remain absent.
When is Kick-Off?
Leicester host Millwall at King Power Stadium on Friday 24 April at 20:00pm BST, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Leicester have won three of their last five league meetings against Millwall (W3, L2).
- Millwall have won two of their last five visits to Leicester (W2, L3).
- Leicester lost each of their last two meetings against Millwall by 1-0 results, albeit away from the King Power Stadium.
- Two of Leicester’s last three home matches ended in 2-2 draws, whilst the other match culminated in a 1-0 loss to Swansea.
- Three of Millwall’s five away goals in April so far have been scored by Josh Coburn (W2, D1).
Prediction
With relegation now confirmed, Leicester now can’t be underestimated because this is now a free hit for them to at least finish their final home game on a positive note knowing that this likely will be last outing on their own turf for some players given the rebuild needed for next season.
Millwall on the other hand will be fired up for this clash knowing that victory will put them second and put the pressure straight on their rivals for the remainder of the weekend, especially after their clinical win at Stoke as they need a similar performance to boost their promotion ambition.
In fact if Leicester start the match like they did against Hull defensively under pressure and unable to offer much, I think that this could be over by half time and the home fans’ mood won’t help them but they should at least find a goal.
Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Millwall
