Leicester will be watching in closely when Wolves, Everton and Watford take to the field. They will be hoping one or all will drop points after failing to win at home.

They all must play over the weekend with Watford’s game coming on Monday night. Victories for the triad will see the Foxes plunge into 10th place in the Premier League. There was no room for error and unfortunately, they went a header down in the European race.

Besides the loss putting them on the back foot, both Wolves and Watford have a game in hand after the weekend wraps up. Rodgers ending to the Premier League season sees his Foxes take on West Ham (A); Arsenal (H); Man City (A); Chelsea (H).

Any wins coming from the final three games would help in their European push. The likelihood of this occurring? The English Premier League is a funny thing. It has no friends and takes no prisoners. Rodgers must try to end strong and take an influential finish into the next campaign.
