by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
19th placed Leicester City and Ipswich Town, who are 18th are reaching the end of their time in the Premier League. It's going to be an emotional afternoon as Jamie Vardy plays his last match for the Foxes. Here's our match prediction.
Both sides have already been relegated and are 16 points from safety. Their combined total of 44 points would only see them 16th in the table. Leicester are only behind their opponents on goal difference and City will want to win this game and go into 18th. That would earn them nearly £3 million more prize money. This game will be about Jamie Vardy though as he ends his hugely successful career with Leicester.
Ipswich Town have had their moments this season but they always looked like making an immediate return to the Championship. When you only win one home league game, relegation is almost inevitable. They won't want to go out with a whimper though and this should be an entertaining fixture.

Leicester - Ipswich Town: Form Analysis
Between them these two clubs have only won nine games in this season's Premier League. Leicester City are a place below Ipswich Town but they have managed one more league victory than their opponents.
City changed their coach earlier this season and van Nistelrooy hasn't had a great impact on them. They continued to struggle and concede far too many goals. 78 have been conceded by them and that's just one more than Ipswich.
Too little, too late
The Foxes have only won two of their last 13 league games. They did get a rare win recently with a home win over another relegated side Southampton ending a run of nine consecutive home losses.
Clubs often get some good results after relegation has been confirmed. The win over Southampton was followed by a draw at Nottingham Forest..
Ipswich are stronger on their travels.
Ipswich Town have won more away games than at Portman Road in this season's Premier League. Three of their four wins have come on the road but only one in the last ten. The Tractor Boys lost 1-0 at home to Brentford last weekend and have gone six league matches without a win. They did nearly beat Leicester at home in the reverse fixture but conceded a 94th minute goal and drew 1-1.

Leicester & Ipswich Town Squad Analysis
Farewell to Jamie.
The decision has been made that this will be Jamie Vardy's last match for Leicester City. There will be special events held on Saturday but there's just one that City fans want to see. One goal for Vardy will see him complete 200 goals for the club.
City have conceded 77 league goals this season, so having some defenders out through injury isn't going to help them in that area of the field. Harry Souttar and Ricardo Pereira are both due to miss this final home league game of the season.
Also out injured is their first-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen who has a hernia.
Ipswich have been battling against injury problems all season. This weekend is no exception with both Sammie Szmodics and Nathan Broadhead out of the team. Liam Delap has been their best player this season but he looks to be on his way out of the club.
Delap hasn't scored since early April. They will be hoping for more goals from Julio Enciso who has scored in recent visits to Chelsea and Everton.

Our Leicester vs Ipswich Town Prediction
This is not a game for high stakes. Both clubs have rightly been relegated after hugely disappointing league campaigns. Leicester's gamble of changing their coach didn't work and the only home league win this year was against relegated Southampton.
Ipswich have also struggled all season and the predicted relegation has already been confirmed. They have scored 22 away league goals and that's more than both Manchester United and West Ham United. Our main Leicester v Ipswich Town prediction is both teams to score.
