The game kicks off at 4pm (UK) when Leicester host Manchester United on Sunday 26 July at the King Power Stadium.
On the final day of this season's Premier League, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Leicester, are toughing it out for the two remaining Champions League berths. Another distant possibility is that one of the teams who finish outside the top four win the Champions League (Chelsea) or the Europa League (Wolves) - in that case, only the top three will qualify through the league. So, let's see what this game brings to the table to the teams involved.
Leicester are going to qualify if they defeat United on Sunday, but the draw will be enough if Chelsea lose to Wolves, because of the superior goal difference.
United, on the other hand, need at least a draw against the Foxes, but if they lose, they can still qualify if Chelsea do the same. With that out of the way, here is what we can deduce from their current form.
LEICESTER VS MANCHESTER UNITED MATCH ANALYSIS
Leicester were dealt a huge blow against Tottenham last weekend in the race for one of the CL spots, while Tottenham boosted their chance to qualify for the Europa League. Brandon Rodgers' side was in the top four for most parts of the year, and even second behind Liverpool at one moment, but their form dipped, as they went on a disappointing run after football resumed. They have now won just two of their last eight games (W2,D,L3).
Leicester's defence will be depleted without three of their four defenders, and James Maddison will not feature as well. They haven't conceded at home in the last four Premier League games, but they have a not so great record in head-to-head matches against United, with only one draw and five defeats in their last six matches.
Manchester United have moved into the top four for the first time since the beginning of the season in September. They are there because of a better goal difference, which will mater only if they don't lose.
Against West Ham, Greenwood was again a stand-out player and his equalizer - his tenth goal of the season - was as important as if it'd been a winner.
The Red Devils have now failed to win their last home back-to-back matches, and were only recently on a nineteen-games unbeaten run. However, that unbeaten run still continues in the Premier League (W8,D5), and if they add another game to that streak they will secure the top four finish.

Leicester will have to be more clinical than in the Spurs game, and more solid at the back. Their attackers will probably be up to the task, but Brandon Rodgers will have bigger problems sorting out his leaky defence. And, while United is unbeaten in their last twelve away games in all competitions, and have shipped only four goals in that time, Brandon Rodgers will try to exploit the fact that United do look a bit leggy recently. The game will be a proper showdown and the hoping is, it won't lack goals and excitement.
