Premier League action wraps up on Sunday with three teams fighting it out for the final two Champions League places. Among them is Leicester City who hosts a Tottenham side that needs points to secure a Europa League spot.
This could be Harry Kane’s last match for the Spurs and bookmaker 10Bet has the odds at 2.50 for him to mark the occasion with a goal. Kelechi Iheanacho is regarded as the likeliest Leicester scorer with the odds at 2.10 for the Nigerian to find the net.

Kane has tormented the Foxes throughout his career, so it looks like the perfect matchup to go out with a bang. He’s notched a whopping 14 goals in 11 Premier League games against Leicester and his overall tally in the matchup stands at 16 goals in 15 games.
The England captain will be chasing his third Premier League Golden Boot in the final round entering the action on 22 goals, which puts him tied for the first spot in the league with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
Tottenham sits seventh on the table ahead of the trip to King Power Stadium with a three-point gap with West Ham. To climb sixth and snatch a Europa League spot, they have to win and hope that the Hammers lose at home to Southampton.
Kane & Co. have to look behind them as well with Everton and Arsenal close by and within a chance of grabbing the seventh spot, which will lead to qualification into the newly-founded Europa Conference League.
Leicester will go all out for the win as well. They also have hopes of Champions League football with a draw, but that would require either Chelsea or Liverpool losing their season finale by three goals and it’s very unlikely to happen.
Just as last year, Leicester have dropped out of the top four right at the end ahead of the final round of fixtures. It’s been another impressive campaign for them, but missing out on the Champions League again would be a bitter pill to swallow.
Brendan Rodgers hasn’t gotten much from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison during the second half of the season and a run of four defeats and just three wins in eight games has come at a really bad time. It’s going to be an uphill battle for them on Sunday, but as they say – it’s not over until it’s over.
