Leicester City vs Norwich City Prediction: Leicester lost automatic promotion spots

Leicester will welcome Norwich at King Power Stadium in Game Week 40 of the English Championship. Leicester has lost automatic promotion spots and will be fighting for it again. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Jamie Vardy missed several clear scoring opportunities in Leicester's match against Bristol City, leading to a defeat that cost them their place in the top two of the Championship standings. This loss marked their second consecutive defeat in two months, following their exit from the FA Cup quarter-finals against Chelsea. The international break provided a break for the struggling team, but their efforts to address their poor form were unsuccessful as they suffered another loss against Bristol City. Despite this setback, Leicester still have a chance to secure a playoff spot and are not far behind the top two teams in the standings. Fans are growing increasingly frustrated with the team's recent performances, particularly their home defeats to Middlesbrough and Queens Park Rangers.

Norwich emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline against Plymouth at Carrow Road on Good Friday. The match saw three crucial crosses which led to goals, with Morgan Whittaker putting Plymouth in the lead before Joshua Sargent and an own goal by Ashley Phillips secured the win for Norwich. This victory extended Norwich's winning streak to three games in the Championship, placing them in sixth position on the table. Despite their recent success, Norwich has struggled away from home this season, with only five wins on the road out of 19 matches. While Norwich's current form is strong, their previous meetings with Leicester have ended in defeat.

Callum Doyle, on loan from Manchester City, was unable to play in the match against Bristol City due to suspension after being red carded in a previous match against Chelsea. However, he is now available for selection by Maresca. Leicester also received positive news with Jamie Vardy, Ricardo Pereira, and Dennis Praet returning from injuries. Despite Vardy's poor performance, this could provide an opportunity for either Kelechi Iheanacho or Patson Daka to lead the team in the upcoming game. Norwich, on the other hand, will be missing Onel Hernandez for the rest of the season due to a foot injury. Both teams have minor injury concerns but are expected to field competitive lineups. Leicester and Norwich are likely to play an entertaining draw as they both aim for success in the Premier League.
