Leicester City lie just outside the top four, behind Liverpool on goal difference and trailing Chelsea by a point as they seek to overtake at least one of their rivals at the death.

Tottenham Hotspur would grab a UEFA Europa League spot if they win while West Ham United lose against Southampton.

If Spurs miss out and stay seventh, they would get a place in the inaugural UEFA Europa  Conference League. But if they drop points and are overtaken by Everton or Arsenal, they would miss out on Europe altogether.

Leicester City can complete their first league double over Spurs since 1998/99.

Kelechi Iheanacho has scored 12 PL goals this season, despite his first coming in February. Only Papiss Cisse has netted more after getting his first in February, with 13 in 2011/12.

Spurs have scored in each of their last 11 PL visits to Leicester and have lost their final league match in just one of the last 10 PL campaigns (W7 D2).

Harry Kane needs two goals to become the joint-highest scorer in final-day matches, equalling Andrew Cole and Les Ferdinand (9). He has scored more PL goals against Leicester than against any other opponent, with 14 in 11 meetings.
