Leicester host Tottenham on the final day of the Premier League season with plenty on the line for both clubs.
Both sides lost in midweek to leave them with uphill tasks on Sunday to achieve their respective goals.
Leicester, who won the FA Cup last weekend, need to better Liverpool’s result to sneak back into the top four. Fourth place could be decided by goal difference and the Foxes trail the Reds by four goals.
Tottenham, meanwhile, must also win and hope West Ham lose as they look to finish in the Europa League spots.
It should set up a thrilling final day clash at the King Power as both go all out for the three points.
This game could also be Harry Kane’s final Spurs appearance as transfer speculation continues to build around the England star.
