Recently-crowned 2015-2016 Premier League champions Leicester City FC (22-3-11, 77 points) will take on the challenge of middling club Everton FC (10-11-14, 44 points) at the King Power Stadium on May 7th, Saturday as they celebrate this season's win in their remaining two matches.
Leicester City officially claimed this season's English top flight title after Tottenham Hotspur FC settled for a 2-2 draw with defending champions Chelsea FC during the previous matchday.
The Foxes were seven points ahead of the Spurs at that time and with only two fixtures left in each one's campaign, the latter could no longer overtake the league leaders even if Leicester losses both of their last two games.
Champion head coach Claudio Ranieri and his boys were forced into a draw themselves during their most recent fixture as the team ended up in a 1-1 game with Manchester United at the Old Trafford last Sunday despite being a man down in the final minutes, as per SkySports.
The Red Devils' young forward, Anthony Martial, opened the scoring right at the eighth minute of the match, which was immediately equalized by Leicester captain Wes Morgan at the 17th.
Midfielder Danny Drinkwater was booked a second yellow card at the 86th after pulling down United forward Memphis Depay, but the hosts were unable to take advantage of it until the game ended.
Meanwhile, Everton nipped AFC Bournemouth, 2-1, last Saturday at their home field of Goodison Park, as reported by BBC Sport.
Midfielder Tom Cleverly netted an early goal for Roberto Martínez's side in the seventh minute of the contest, which was responded to immediately by Boscombe at the ninth with an awkward close range shot from midfielder Marc Pugh that found the back of Tim Howard's net.
The Toffees scored the winning goal in the 64th minute via a clinical shot from left back Leighton Baines to snap Everton's five-game winless drought.
The team is now at the 11th spot of the league table, 12 points above the bottom three relegation zone with three games remaining in their season.
The predicted result is a 1-0 decision for Leicester City.
Leicester City starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Kanté, Drinkwater, Schlupp; Okazaki, Ulloa
Everton starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Howard; Besic, Stones, Pennington, Baines; McCarthy, Gibson; Lennon, Barkley, Cleverley; Niasse
