*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Current Plymouth vs Leicester odds aren't a huge surprise in that they regard the away side as major favourites for this clash. The Foxes have been given a 67.7% chance of winning, despite their loss to Millwall on Tuesday night and their recent poor form away from home.

Leicester were helped on Tuesday night by Leeds' draw with Sunderland, which means promotion is still in their hands. Their task is quite simple – win their remaining five games and they will be playing in the Premier League again next season.

Plymouth have also ensured their fate is in their own hands but it's significantly less likely that the Pilgrims will win out from here. They are outside of the relegation zone, though, and will be keen to continue their momentum after two positive results following the sacking of Ian Foster. Unfortunately for them, the cream usually rises to the top at this time of the season.

Leicester preview: Looking for an immediate response

Leicester boss, Enzo Maresca, will almost certainly make changes to his time after Leicester suffered a defeat at the hands of Millwall in midweek. Patson Daka could replace Jamie Vardy up front, while Abdul Fatawu could come in for Yunus Akgun.

Predicted lineup: Hermansen (GK), Pereira, Vestergaard, Faes, Doyle, Winks, Ndidi, Fatawu, Dewsbury-Hall, Mavididi, Daka
