THE LOWDOWN

LEICESTER

  • Leicester’s winless run in all competitions extended to seven games this past Sunday as they were beaten 2-1 at home to relegation battlers Everton, a deeply unpopular result amid supporters angry at the Foxes’ poor league form.
  • Both James Justin and James Maddison are expected to be passed fit after missing out at the weekend through injuries and will each likely come straight into the starting line-up if so.

NORWICH

  • The Norwich players must be willing for the season to end at this point after falling to their 24th league defeat of the season against West Ham, losing 0-4 at Carrow Road.
  • Up to seven players are out of this match due to injury, leaving Dean Smith with precious little options in terms of shuffling his pack in a bid to try and pick up a positive result.

THE PREDICTION

The pressure is starting to pile onto Brendan Rodgers by frustrated Leicester fans, with their side out of Europe and marooned in 14th-placed. The loss against Everton was particularly tough to take, however it could have easily been a different outcome if not for the heroics of Toffees keeper Jordan Pickford. Whoever features between the sticks for Norwich is certainly not expected to be as strong and Leicester should be afforded far more joy in front of goal. Therefore, back the hosts to triumph against their already relegated opponents.
