&w=707&quality=100)
- Ipswich have gathered 15 of their 22 points from away matches
- Leicester have lost nine of their last 10 Premier League home games
- Recommended bet: Ipswich draw no bet
Championship football beckons for relegated Leicester City and Ipswich Town, who will be looking to salvage some pride from their contest in the East Midlands.
City have taken four points from their last two matches, including last Sunday’s 2-2 draw away to Nottingham Forest, which did huge damage to the Tricky Trees’ Champions League qualification hopes.
The Foxes have climbed up to 22 points and only an inferior goal difference separates them from Town, who have been in 18th position for the last three months.
Ipswich are on a six-game winless sequence, although they showed a competitive edge in their last away game, coming from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at Everton.
Team news
Foxes midfielder Harry Winks has been out of favour and may not feature again this season.
Mads Hermansen (groin), Issahaku Fatawu (knee), Bobby Decordova-Reid (muscle strain) and Stephy Mavididi (unspecified injury) are ruled out and Ricardo Pereira (muscle strain) is a major doubt.
The visitors are without Arijanet Muric (shoulder), Wes Burns, Jaden Philogene (both knee), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles) and Nathan Broadhead (thigh).
Conor Townsend (thigh), Kalvin Phillips (calf) and Sammie Szmodics (ankle) face late fitness checks, while Leif Davis is available again after suspension.
The stats
Leicester have lost 17 of their last 21 matches and have failed to score in ten of their last 13 Premier League fixtures.
The Foxes have conceded the first goal in 10 of their last 11 home league games.
Two of Ipswich’s last three away games have finished 2-2, while seven of their last eight matches have generated at least three goals.
Prediction
Ipswich would like to have made a better fist of their survival scrap, but they have put in some decent performances on their travels and can get the better of Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
Kieran McKenna’s side have registered three of their four league wins in away matches and should fancy their chances against the Foxes, who had lost nine home league games in succession before a 2-0 triumph at home to Southampton earlier this month.
The Tractor Boys are the top scorers among the bottom three and will be hoping for a couple more big performances from their top scorer, Liam Delap, who has bagged 12 league goals.
Leicester may struggle to cope with Delap and could slide to a 13th home league loss of the campaign.
