After securing a first-place finish in the Championship and promotion back to the Premier League, Leicester City has a chance to celebrate with their fans ahead of the final game of the season.
Leicester City hosts Blackburn Rovers at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, with 90 minutes left between the Foxes and the Premier League.
The Foxes have been led by the 18 goals of Jamie Vardy and 12 goals, 14 assists from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Under coach Enzo Maresca, they have dominated the division and look set for a return to their old status in the Premier League.
Blackburn Rovers meanwhile only need one point to ensure safety and another season in the Championship. However, a defeat and wins by Birmingham City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Plymouth Argyle could see Blackburn going down to League One.
With so much on the line, this is a game you won't want to miss. The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Leicester vs Blackburn Rovers prediction
With Leicester City having already secured promotion, it is easy to imagine they may take their foot off the gas for this one. However, they should still on paper have enough talent to make it through, despite a scare from Blackburn, which is fighting for its life in the Championship.
Prediction: Leicester City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers
EFL Championship promotion race latest
Here's how the table looks ahead of the final day of action:
| Position | Team | MP | Pts | GD |
| 1. | Leicester City (C) | 45 | 97 | +50 |
| 2. | Ipswich Town | 45 | 93 | +33 |
| 3. | Leeds United | 45 | 90 | +39 |
| 4. | Southampton | 45 | 84 | +23 |
| 5. | Norwich City | 45 | 73 | +16 |
| 6. | West Brom | 45 | 72 | +20 |
Ipswich will confirm second place if they win or draw at home to Huddersfield. Defeat could block their automatic promotion, but only if Leeds win at home to Southampton, as the Yorkshire side have a higher goal difference.
Both teams are already guaranteed a playoff spot, alongside Southampton, with Norwich City and West Brom only needing a one point maximum to seal their playoff position.
