Leicester City’s success is dependent on two players, James Maddison and Jamie Vardy.

The two of them have scored or assisted on nearly 70% of the 43 goals Leicester has scored this season.

If those two can continue their form, then Leicester City will be able to maintain their third-place position, but a few bad performances and they will be in store for another late-season collapse.

Remaining fixtures

[A] Brighton
[H] Sheffield United
[H] Manchester City
[A] West Ham
[H] West Brom
[H] Crystal Palace
[A] Southampton
[H] Newcastle
[A] Manchester United
[A] Chelsea
[H] Tottenham

Projected points

Similar to Manchester United, Leicester City will have their final games full of teams in the top half of the division, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham in their final three fixtures.

Unfortunately for the Foxes, this will result in a sixth-place finish and another year in the Europa League.

Their 0.2 XG and XGA difference will not hold up compared to the rest of the teams in the top four race. We expect them to finish with 67 points.
