Leicester City’s league match with promotion Southampton has been postponed.
Table-topping City host fourth-placed Saints on Tuesday, April 23, in what will be their penultimate game of the season. He moved following City’s progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
That currently puts the game between a Midlands encounter at the King Power Stadium against play-off chasing West Brom and a fixture against Preston in City’s final away game of the season. However, there are other potential changes.

If City come out of disappointment and beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup quarter-finals, they will play their semi-final at Wembley on the weekend of April 20-21. That would mean the match against West Brom would have to be postponed.
In total, City would play 10 games in 37 days after the March international break, as the league season reaches its climax and Enzo Maresca’s side also battle for domestic glory. The normal season concludes on Saturday, May 4, with City at home to Blackburn’s Rovers.
Based on the home and away issues consistent with the play of their remaining warring parties, City have the simplest matchup of the 4 groups in the war for automatic promotion. City’s remaining 10 games in conflict in the league have struggles, consistent with a 1. 29 playing average. Leeds’ conflicting matches are at 1. 34, Ipswich at 1. 43 and Southampton at 1. 54.
