Tottenham Hotspur will take on Leicester City on the final day of the Premier League

In one of the most eagerly anticipated matches on the final day of the Premier League, Leicester City welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the King Power stadium.

The Foxes were taken down by a vindictive Chelsea last time out, losing 2-1 at Stamford Bridge three days after their FA Cup triumph against the same opposition.

Having slipped to fifth place, they'll hope to win this game with a healthy scoreline to aid their goal difference.

Spurs, on the contrary, look like a team of stars lost in different parallels. Ryan Mason has found life difficult as interim boss. Spurs star forward Harry Kane has officially expressed his desire to leave as the team is set to miss out on Champions League football.

While they are poised to fight for pride and hope it's not Kane's last match for the club, Leicester have it all to play for after missing out on UCL qualification last season.

Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur match prediction

Leicester City have shown signs of crumbling under pressure at the business end of the season. Brendan Rodgers' side are definitely better drilled than their counterparts, but Spurs have nothing to fear as they prepare for their last outing of the season.

The likes of Kane and Son could prove the difference. In what will likely be a feisty encounter, we expect both teams to share the spoils.

Prediction: Leicester City 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur
