The home form of the Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho can prove decisive in gameweek 38 of the Premier League as the Foxes look to secure a top-four place.
Leicester had for long spells looked certain of a Champions League position but are now up against it heading into what will be a fascinating last day of Premier League action.
A win for Liverpool over Crystal Palace would almost certainly be enough for the Merseysiders to make the top four due to the better goal difference over the 2015/16 champions.
And if third-placed Chelsea go ahead to overcome Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge, it only implies that Leicester will need Jurgen Klopp’s side to drop points to move above them.
Iheanacho is certain to return against Tottenham after playing as a substitute in Leicester’s 2-1 loss against Chelsea in London on Tuesday where he grabbed a consolation goal.
The Nigerian’s recent output at King Power Stadium suggests he will be a key player on Sunday.
The former Manchester City player has scored six goals and bagged an assist in his last five home matches and Rodgers will be hoping he scores again for the 12th time in his last 12 matches.
He faces a Spurs team who have lost to Leeds United and Aston Villa in their last three encounters. The Nigerian also has a good scoring record against the north London side as he has scored twice in seven appearances in the competition against them.
Iheanacho has featured 141 times in the Premier League, starting just 55 of the games since he made his debut in August 2015.
He has scored 33 times with the 2020/21 season proving his best in terms of number of goals scored. He has also bagged 15 assists and has had 190 shots with less than half (80) on target with a 42% shooting accuracy.
