BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for Sunday’s Premier League clash between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are no longer in control of their top-four destiny after the 2-1 league defeat at Chelsea in midweek, where they were second-best for most of the game. They face a must-win situation against Spurs in the final matchday tomorrow, but the result won’t be sufficient if Chelsea and Liverpool win their respective matches. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur also need to come up with the three points to ensure that they will be playing European football for another season. A victory could see them qualify for the Europa League, if sixth-placed West Ham United lose against Southampton at the London Stadium tomorrow. Otherwise, it...
