The East Midlands side face three promotion hopefuls in a row as they travel to Middlesborough after facing Leeds at the King Power Stadium before returning back to Leicester to host Watford.

West Brom (A) – Jamie Vardy’s favourite place to score

Saturday 2nd December

The Hawthornes is always a ground where Jamie Vardy is guaranteed to score. This is a must for anyone thinking of attending an away game this season, not only is it just under 50 miles away, but it is highly likely that Vardy will score a goal or two. The number nine has netted six goals in all five away games he’s played against West Bromwich Albion.

Previous away fixtures:

13th September 2020: West Brom 0-3 Leicester City (Jamie Vardy 74′ and 84′)

10th March 2018: West Brom 1-4 Leicester City (Jamie Vardy 21′)

29th April 2017: West Brom 0-1 Leicester City (Jamie Vardy 43′)

31st October 2015: West Brom 2-3 Leicester City (Jamie Vardy 77′)

11th April 2015: West Brom 2-3 Leicester City (Jamie Vardy 90′)

Blackburn (H) – Trophy lift day?

Saturday 4th May

dark. Next. Leicester boss Maresca makes final decision on Vardy’s Foxes future

This game could become very significant if everything goes to plan for Enzo Maresca’s men. Not only is this the final game of the season it could also be trophy lift day. Leicester are currently favourites to win the title and with the right backing and squad overhaul this could be a very realistic outcome. Elsewhere second favourites Leeds will play Southampton as the two former Premier League sides go head to head to potentially fight for promotion back to the top flight of English football.
