Leicester & Manchester
A year after they won the Premier League in historic circumstances, Leicester City complete their EPL season with a home match against Bournemouth.
11th in the table, the Foxes could finish the year as high 8th in the EPL with a win on Sunday against the Cherries.
But are Leicester set to lose their best players in the off-season?
Rumours have been flying around in recent weeks linking Riyad Mahrez with a summer departure from the King Power Stadium, while the Sunday Times are floating the claim that the most important Foxes player at the back could be off.
What’s the story?
Kasper Schmeichel, Leicester’s fantastic keeper could be headed for Manchester this summer, report the Times.
While United fans may love to have a Schmeichel back in goal, the rumours are that City are leading the chase for the 30-year-old Danish keeper.

Manchester City are interested in signing Kasper Schmeichel — and are prepared to offer Joe Hart to Leicester City as part of any deal for the Denmark international. They face competition for Schmeichel from Everton, who are also in the market for a new goalkeeper.
Unfortunately the Times fail to state how much City have to pay to make the Schmeichel deal happen. He’s under contract at the King Power Stadium until 2021.
