Wilfred Ndidi - Shines in playmaking role Ndidi recorded five assists, 85 tackles, 17 chances created and 74 clearances in 28 starts during the Premier League season.

Impact Ndidi is known for being a defensive-minded presence in midfield, but he thrived as a playmaker for a struggling Leicester side in 2024/25 and matched the career-high five assists he posted in the 2023/24 Championship season despite logging four fewer appearances. Ndidi should generate tons of interest to remain in the Premier League for the 2025/26 season, but until a deal in agreed with another team, the Nigeria international figures to be a key piece in midfield for the Foxes in their return to the Championship.

Wout Faes - Tallies 184 clearances Faes recorded 184 clearances, 42 tackles, 26 interceptions and 35 blocked shots across 34 appearances (30 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Faes was a regular starter for the Foxes for a third consecutive season despite going through a stretch in which he didn't play regularly, and he ended up being the team's most reliable presence in the defensive zone. The 184 clearances were a career-high for the Belgium center-back. He should garner interest from Premier League clubs in the summer, but it's unclear if Leicester would be open to letting him leave.

James Justin - Notches career-best season Justin recorded two goals, two assists, 57 crosses and 115 clearances in 36 appearances (34 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Justin was one of the first names on the team sheet for Leicester City throughout the 2024/25 season, and the right-back responded with consistent performances on both sides of the ball every time he stepped on the pitch. He should be a key player for the Foxes if he stays with the club for the 2025/26 Championship season, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's Premier League interest for his services during the summer transfer window.

Jamie Vardy - Scores nine goals Vardy scored nine goals and added four assists in 35 starts in the Premier League. He also recorded 58 shots (26 on target) and 19 chances created.

Impact Vardy will leave Leicester City in the summer, but it's uncertain where he'll play next since there's been interest from several teams all over Europe for him. The one thing that's certain is that the veteran striker remains capable of playing at a high level, as evidenced by the nine goals he scored for a struggling Leicester squad.

Issahaku Fatawu - Aiming return in pre-season Fatawu (knee) is progressing well in his recovery and is aiming to return for the pre-season, he announced in a video posted by the club.

Impact Fatawu suffered an ACL injury in early November that ruled him out for the season and has since then worked on his rehabilitation. He is progressing well and has intensified his training sessions with the aim to come back fully fit for the pre-season with Leicester. He will play again in the Championship, a league he already knows since he played 40 games in 2023 with Leicester as an undisputed starter, scoring six goals and providing 13 assists.

Victor Kristiansen - Three clearances in loss to Cherries Kristiansen registered two tackles (one won), three clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Kristiansen executed three clearances, two tackles, two interceptions and a block Sunday but was unable to contain the dominant Bournemouth attack.

Patson Daka - Not impactful in loss to Cherries Daka registered one tackle (one won) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Daka got a rare start Sunday but the striker had little impact on the game. He was unable to place any shots on target and unsurprisingly was subbed after 72 minutes. The Zambian international is usually deployed from the bench to relieve Jamie Vardy once he tires. From 23 appearances (six starts) he has scored just one and that was back in December.

Jordan Ayew - No shots on target in loss Ayew generated two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Ayew was disappointing Sunday. The striker did not manage to place any shots on target and executed just one cross which was not accurate. It has been a lackluster season for the Ghanaian international, from 31 appearances (19 starts) he had netted five. It has been four matches since he last got onto the scoresheet.

Jakub Stolarczyk - Concedes two in valiant performance Stolarczyk registered five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Stolarczyk produced a brave performance Sunday. His talents alone kept the Cherries off the scoresheet in the first half through a series of world-class saves, but pressure on the entire Leicester team caused him to concede two by fulltime. The Pole secured the starting keeper spot for the last four games of the season and delivered an impressive two clean sheets from these outings.

Across his last three appearances (three starts), the veteran striker has scored twice and assisted once.

Across his 64 minutes of play, the full-back contributed three tackles (two won), two clearances and two blocks to the team's clean sheet effort. Justin's two goals and two assists over his 35 appearances (33 starts) this season mark a new career best for goal contribution in a single Premier League campaign.

Impact Ndidi's one-touch passing setup Leicester City's second goal as they eased past Ipswich Town in a 2-0 victory. The assist marked the holding-midfielder's first Premier League goal contribution since September. In addition to his attacking efforts, Ndidi, more characteristically, contributed four tackles (one won), two interceptions and two clearances to the team's clean sheet effort. After missing 10 matches due to a hamstring injury, Ndidi has now started in 13 consecutive league matches for the Foxes.

Impact McAteer put the match beyond reach Sunday when he bagged Leicester City's second goal late in the second half of their 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town. The goal was the first career Premier League goal for the attacking midfielder who also contributed one tackle (one won), one interception and one block to the team's clean sheet effort. After playing a rotational role for the majority of the campaign, McAteer has now started in three successive league fixtures.

Jakub Stolarczyk - Keeps clean sheet in win Stolarczyk made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Ipswich Town.

Impact Stolarcyzk repelled each of the two Ipswich Town shots on target Sunday to record a clean and lift his side to a 2-0 victory. Since taking the reins from injured Mads Hermansen, the Polish international has made six saves and three clearances across three starting appearances while conceding twice and recording two clean sheets. Stolarcyzk is likely to be between the sticks Sunday when Leicester City travel to Bournemouth for their season finale.

Impact Pereira will face a late fitness test after the final training sessions on Friday and Saturday to determine if he can be added to the squad for Sunday's game. He started the last two games before his injury and could return directly to the starting XI if deemed fit enough to play. If he cannot answer the call or has to start on the bench, James Justin is expected to start in his place.

Impact In Vardy's previous appearance, he scored a goal, breaking a drought going into his last month of the 2024-25 Premier League. This month has been a stark contrast, with him directly contributing to a goal in both of Leicester's games thus far. On Sunday, Vardy assisted Facundo Buonanotte's goal, which secured the Foxes their first point since April 12, another 2-2 draw but at Brighton & Hove Albion.
