A farewell to the great adventure
On the other side of the coin, Norwich is living its last moments as a member of the Premier League as it is currently positioned at the bottom of the overall table and with two games to go is basically eliminated from the top flight of English soccer, causing its return to the EFL Championship for the 2022-23 season. Norwich lived throughout this campaign very irregular moments and reaped many defeats throughout the sporting year so the remaining matches they play, will be to complete their participation in the competition.
To win at home
The Leicester City team has been eliminated from the European and local competitions, also, in the league they are in the mid-table zone and are no longer an option to fight for a place in a European tournament since they cannot aspire to fight for a place at least in the UEFA Conference League. Likewise, Leicester City is one of the teams with one of the weakest defenses in the Premier League, so it will be a priority to go for reinforcements in the saga to strengthen the Foxes' defensive line.
Very uneven duel
The Foxes will host Norwich in what will be the match corresponding to Day 21 of the Premier League that had to be rescheduled due to the outbreak of coronavirus that occurred within the Leicester City squad at that time, however, today, the Foxes are much more (soccer wise) than Norwich as the home team is in the mid-table zone while the visitors are bottom of the overall table and it is already a fact that they will return to a place in the Championship, abandoning their place in the top flight.
Kick-off time
The Leicester City vs Norwichh match will be played at King Power Stadium, in Leicester, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 14:45 pm ET.
