Jamie Vardy will be playing his last game for Leicester. He will not be in the squad for Bournemouth. This is farewel to the GOAT. Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy have the opportunity also to settle this season in a better position. Winning would see him climbing closer to a chance to continue.
George Hirst is one to watch on the oppositions side. The 24 year old forward has been on the field 24 times this season. Only 3 starts, but still been picked to play for Scotland. He made his debut in a 1-0 win vs. Greece back in March.
Ipswich are as Leicester, relegated. A number of new additions have not been enough to climb out of the relegation zone. The gap for the promoted teams looks bigger and bigger. This trend continues season in and season out.
Leicester will miss Ricardo Pereira. He is also out for the rest of the season. Fatawu, Mavadidi, Hermansen, De Cordova-Reid are others not available for injury reasons.

Ipswich Town Football Club is a professional association football club based in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, that compete in the Championship, the second tier of English football, following promotion from League One during the 2022–23 season.
Ipswich Town were founded in 1878 but did not turn professional until 1936; it was subsequently elected to join the Football League in 1938. Ipswich won the English league title in 1961–62, their first season in the top flight, and finished runners-up in 1980–81 and 1981–82. They finished in the top six in the First Division for ten years, with the exception of when they won the FA Cup in 1977–78. Ipswich were a regular competitor in European football and won the UEFA Cup in 1980–81. The club has competed in all three major European club competitions and holds the record as being the only British side to have never lost at home in European competition, having defeated teams such as Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio and Barcelona.
Ipswich play their home games at Portman Road in Ipswich. They are the only fully professional football club in Suffolk and have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with Norwich City from Norfolk, against whom they have contested the East Anglian derby 148 times since 1902. The club’s traditional home colours are blue shirts with white shorts and blue socks, read more
Kit:
This year’s Ipswich Town home jersey features white pinstripes for the first time in 10 years. The badge is being highlighted with a shield surrounding the club crest. The sleeves feature a navy trim, giving the shirt a clean look. The kit is complete with white shorts and blue socks.
Arch-enemy: Norwich City
Honours: Ipswich were a huge surprise when they won the league as far back as the 1961/62, with a certain Sir Alf Ramsey as manager, later to become England boss. They have also won the FA Cup, in 1977/78, defeating Arsenal in the final with a Roger Osborne goal in the 77th minute. A proud moment when they lifted the UEFA Cup in 1981/82 season, being the last time they won a major trophy of football.

Did You Know? Ipswich for 45 years held the record for the longest unbeaten home run in European football history. That run saw them avoid defeat at Portman Road in 31 matches in a row in Europe. That record though was eventually broken due to the Tractor Boys’ lengthy absence from European football. However, it was not the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, Manchester United, or Liverpool that broke that record, but it was Dutch side AZ Alkmaar who eventually surpassed the 31 unbeaten home game mark in Europe.
