Latest football commentary on Leicester vs Ipswich Town
After comfortably winning the 2023-24 Championship title under Enzo Maresca, Leicester have struggled to adapt to the Premier League environment. The East Midlands club will have to return to the Second Division next season, and the future of current manager Ruud van Nistelrooy remains unclear.
However, his chances of keeping his job have improved over the past two weeks as Leicester ended an 11-game winless streak by picking up four points from their last two games – against bottom-placed Southampton and top-five rivals Nottingham Forest respectively.
Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood looked set to seal all three points for Forest at the City Ground, but Facundo Buonanotte's late strike against Matz Sels earned Leicester a point, leaving the hosts with a vital chance in the race for a top-five finish.
Despite a rare two-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, Leicester are 19th in the table, 16 points behind 17th-placed Tottenham – also the Europa League runners-up – and that gap shows the stark difference between the bottom three and the rest of the league this season.
This weekend, the King Power Stadium will witness a memorable moment as the legendary Jamie Vardy prepares to make his 500th and final appearance for the 2015-16 Premier League champions. The energetic striker has now scored 199 goals for the club in all competitions.
Similar to home team Leicester, Ipswich will also return to the Championship next season when they cannot take advantage of home field advantage to escape the relegation group.
Kieran McKenna's side have won just one of their 18 Premier League home games this season, their most recent defeat coming against Brentford last weekend, when Kevin Schade scored the only goal of the game to give the visitors victory.
With only 2 points in the last 6 rounds, Ipswich is ranked 18th on the rankings - equal in points with Leicester - both have 22 points after 36 rounds.
Remarkably, 15 of Ipswich's 22 points have come from away games, with one of those rare wins coming against Bournemouth away from home, with Nathan Broadhead and Liam Delap scoring either half to give Ipswich all three points.
Delap – who scored 12 goals in his first season in the Premier League – is preparing for his penultimate game for Ipswich. The young striker, who came through the Man City academy, is expected to make a big move next summer.
