Leicester are unbeaten in five meetings with Ipswich, albeit the last three have all been draws, with the Tractor Boys winless in ten visits to the King Power, dating back to 2002.
These two sides will both be returning to the EFL Championship after neither came close to surviving this season, but both will see this as a golden opportunity to claim a very rare win.
Of the pair, Ipswich Town kick off above their hosts by goal difference alone, despite being beaten 1-0 by Brentford at Portman Road last weekend. Kieran McKenna's team are therefore without a win in six, claiming just one victory from 17 Premier League outings in 2025, losing 12 of them.
Leicester City vs Ipswich Town preview
Leicester City have shown signs of life in recent weeks, albeit this has come far too late. Last Sunday, the Foxes held East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest to a surprise 2-2 draw at the City Ground, with Conor Coady's header breaking the deadlock, before Facundo Buonanotte slotted home a late equaliser.
A week earlier, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side had also beaten rock-bottom Southampton 2-0, thereby scoring at the King Power for the first time since 8 December, a sequence of eight miserable matches. These two teams drew 1-1 in East Anglia back in November, Jordan Ayew smuggling home a 94th-minute equaliser, so will there be anything between them this time?

Leicester City team news
Jakub Stolarczyk will once again be donning the gloves, after first-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen required groin surgery, with Harry Souttar, Ricardo Pereira, Abdul Fatawu, Stephy Mavididi and Bobby De Cordova-Reid also injured and Harry Winks in the proverbial wilderness.
Oliver Skipp is hoping to start a third successive match, chosen over Boubakary Soumaré, while Ruud van Nistelrooy is likely to recall Facundo Buonanotte, after his goal off the bench in Nottingham.
Leicester City predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town: (4-5-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Coady, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Skipp, El Khannouss, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy.
Leicester City player to watch vs Ipswich Town
Jamie Vardy will feature at the King Power for Leicester for the final time. This will be the occasion of his 500th appearances for the Foxes, desperately seeking that landmark 200th goal.
Ipswich Town team news
Kieran McKenna still has a very long absentee list to deal with; Arijanet Muriç, Connor Townsend, Wes Burns, Sammie Szmodics, Nathan Broadhead, Chiedozie Ogbene and Jaden Philogene remain injured. Meantime, loanees Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste have been discarded in recent weeks.
In better news, Leif Davis can return at left-back, having served his three-match suspension, which is certainly a boost, given that Jacob Greaves had been awkwardly filling in there.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Leicester City: (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Taylor, Morsy, Hutchinson, Chaplin, Enciso; Delap.
Ipswich Town player to watch vs Leicester City
