Leicester City meet Norwich City at the King Power Stadium in the race for promotion.
Victory would put Leicester top before Ipswich and Leeds play in evening kick-offs, whilst Norwich can stay sixth with a win.
Team News

Kasey McAteer (hamstring), Ben Nelson (unspecified) and Tom Cannon (knock) remain sidelined.
Norwich have no fresh injury concerns to report after their comeback win against Plymouth.
Dimitris Giannoulis, Jon Rowe (both hamstring), Onel Hernandez (foot) and Grant Hanley (fitness) remain absent.
When is Kick-Off?
Leicester host Norwich at the King Power Stadium on Easter Monday 1 April at 12:30pm BST, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Leicester have won five of their last seven league meetings against Norwich (W5, D1, L1).
- Norwich have claimed four points in their last five league visits to Leicester (W1, D1, L3).
- Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored three goals in two of his last three appearances against Norwich.
- Enzo Maresca’s Foxes have scored first in each of their last 10 league matches on the road (W6, D2, L2).
- Ashley Barnes has scored in each of his last two away appearances for Norwich (W1, L1).
Prediction
With defeats in four of their last six league matches, Leicester certainly need to turn their form around if want to avoid the play-off lottery yet they absolutely can’t be as wasteful as they were in their defeat at Bristol City.
Norwich meanwhile have a four-point gap over Coventry in the race for the final play-off spot but the latter have two games in hand come mid-April, so David Wagner’s Canaries can’t afford to drop many points but were lucky to come from behind to beat Plymouth after a sloppy first half.
Both teams though are in contrasting form but I do expect this game to be pretty scrappy and a draw might just be a fair result if Leicester can convert their chances.
Prediction: Leicester 1-1 Norwich
