Football Predictions
The Premier League relegation battle gets more enticing with 16th-placed Leeds United hosting 17th-placed Leicester City at Elland Road on Tuesday.
Both teams are just separated by one point and will be doing anything to pick the important three points as they fight to maintain their Premier League status for another season.
Leicester beat Wolves 2-1 in their last time out to boost their survival chances but they are not safe just yet as they have the same number of points as 18th-placed Everton who on their end are doing all they can not be relegated. While Leeds lost to Fulham on Saturday, they still have an outside chance to remain afloat but know the importance of this game as it will be a chance to kill one of their closest challengers at the lower end of the table.

Team news
Hosts Leeds has only one injury concern in Stuart Dallas who is out for the rest of the season but that can’t be said of visitors Leicester who has a number of players out of action. Ryan Bertrand (Knee Surgery), Jonny Evans (Calf Injury), and James Justin (Achilles tendon rupture) are those who can’t be considered for the game.
Midfielder James Maddison should however return for the tie after missing their Saturday outing against the Wolves due to illness.
Probable Line Ups
Leeds XI: Meslier, Wober, Cooper, Koch, Kristensen, McKennie, Aaronson, Roca, Harrison, Moreno, Summerville
Leicester City XI: Iversen, Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Kristiansen, Tielemans, Soumare, Tete, Mendy, Iheanacho, Vardy
Verdict
Both teams scored in each of the last seven league games of Leeds United with each scoring at least once in four of the last six meetings between these two sides.
The duo has no option but to find goals to win the game owing to their position in the Premier League table. While we expect goals, both teams should be backed to score.
Verdict: Both Teams to Score

Jamie Vardy
Age is catching up with Vardy having been one of the best servants of the club. He might not have the knack of scoring regularly anymore owing to the lack of form all around him but his energy is still intact and he would want to prove to everyone why the Foxes deserve another bite in the Premier League.
Kelechi Iheanacho
The Nigerian has always been introduced from the bench but has slowly been the main man for Leicester. He has chipped in with crucial goals and Dean Smith will hope that he is the guy who helps him secure that Leicester contract on a long term if his goals can rescue them from relegation.
