Current form: Leicester vs Chelsea
Leicester City come into this match off the back of a loss, but will be seeking to win both home and away against Chelsea for the first time in 18 years. This will be the last game for departing duo Danny Simpson and Shinji Okazaki, who are set to leave the club when their respective contracts expire this summer, and thus each player will hope to put on a good performance in front of the home support. New boss Brendan Rogers will be seeking to end the campaign on a high note after beating Arsenal 3-0 in their last home game, and what better way to do so than to beat two London powerhouses back to back?
Meanwhile, Chelsea come into this game having secured their spot in the finals of the Europa League. Maurizio Sarri's side held their nerve through a tough penalty shoot-out to set up what will be an interesting London derby showdown with Arsenal at the end of this month after seeing off Eintracht Frankfurt. Currently, the Blues find themselves in third on 71 points, meaning that they have already booked a spot for themselves in next year's Champions League. Even if they lose, they won't drop out of the top four as Arsenal sit way back in fifth on 67 points, so Chelsea have done enough to feature in the Champions League regardless of what happens at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
