Leicester City vs Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town are ending the season in poor form with just two points collected from their past six matches. Kevin Schade’s goal was the difference last time out as Brentford were the latest team to defeat Ipswich on their own patch. The Tractor Boys are currently above Leicester on goal difference and will also be keen to end the season positively ahead of their return to the second tier. Julio Enciso has been a rare bright spark for Ipswich lately, with his stunning strike against Everton in their last away match reminding the Premier League of his quality. Moments of quality from Enciso and his team-mates though have been few and far between for Ipswich in a campaign which has seen them lose 22 league games.
Leicester City vs Ipswich Town
Leicester City fought back to earn a point last time out against rivals Nottingham Forest as the Foxes went two games unbeaten in the Premier League for the first time since December. That 2-2 draw at the City Ground followed up their 2-0 win over Southampton as the Foxes look to end the season strongly after a miserable campaign. The visit of Ipswich to the King Power Stadium presents another opportunity to extend their unbeaten streak against a side they will be renewing acquaintances with in the Championship next season. Leicester will also be eager to win for club legend Jamie Vardy, who is making his 500th and final appearance for the Foxes here. Vardy is on 199 goals for the club, and this is his final chance to score goal 200.
