Leicester City will host Manchester United at the King Power Stadium on Sunday, 26 July the final day of the Premier League 2019/20 campaign.
Both the Red Devils and Foxes will be looking to finish in the top four of the League to secure a place in next season's Champions League.
Leicester City hold the fifth place on the top flight table with 62 points, one point behind Chelsea and Manchester United who are fourth and third respectively with both teams having 63 points each.
This means that three teams will hustle for two spots in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League next season with Chelsea to host Wolverhampton Wanderers same evening.
Since the restart of football last month, the Foxes have struggled, earning two wins from eight top flight encounters, conceding three losses to pull them down from the top four zone.

Foxes Head Coach Brendan Rodgers is aware that a victory over their visitors will secure them a place in next season's Champions League, however, one point from the home-game could as well be sufficient only if Wolverhampton Wanderers defeat Chelsea, meaning that Leicester City will take the fourth spot as the Foxes already have a superior goal difference over Frank Lampard's side."It's Khun Top's birthday on Sunday, so we hope to give him a birthday to be proud of." 🦊🎂— Leicester City (@LCFC) July 25, 2020

Despite 1-1 draw against West Ham United on Wednesday inside Old Trafford, Man United elevated from fifth to third.
The Red Devils have recorded five wins from their eight Premier League games with three draws since the restart of football, and this has placed them in a very palatable spot to secure a Champions League place next season.
With just one point, Man United will seal their top-four finish, they could lose and still qualify for next season's Champions League if Chelsea falls at home to sixth-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
