Leicester City boss Dean Smith says the Foxes, Leeds United and Everton will all be feeling a lot of anxiety come the final day of the season. All three sides are still at risk of relegation from the Premier League, with the Toffees currently in the driving seat.
Sam Allardyce's side face Tottenham Hotspur on the road while Leicester host West Ham United and Everton take on Bournemouth at Goodison Park. The Whites need a win and results to go their way elsewhere if they want to pull of another great escape.
The mood after the 3-1 defeat to the Hammers last weekend was flat with both Luke Ayling admitting it would be tough for the players to get up for the clash with Spurs. Leicester however, kept their first clean sheet in 20 or so games with a draw at Newcastle United on Monday night, to move above the Whites on goal difference and will be hoping to carry that momentum into their clash with David Moyes' West Ham.

"We’re gonna need help," Leicester City boss Smith told Sky Sports after the draw with the Magpies.. "There’s gonna be a lot of anxiety I think on Sunday for all three teams that are in it, but our job first and foremost is a real tough job against West Ham to try and win that game.
"I’m sure with our supporters behind us, they saw how hard the players worked today and can do that. It’s out of our hands if Everton win, so as long as we can say we gave it our best shot, we’ll fight tooth and nail to stay in there.
"All we can do is put some pressure on Everton and we’ve done that. I don’t think many people would have thought we could have come here and got a result today, that’s why I make no apologies for the way we played, we come here and got a result today, and it takes us into that last game."
