All three teams play huge games on Easter Monday as the season approaches its climax.
The Tractor Boys are currently league leaders but have played a game more than the Foxes, who let their lead slip.
Enzo Maresca’s men were 12 points ahead at one point but are now two points behind Ipswich following a 1-0 defeat to Bristol City on Good Friday.
They will then host the play-off against Norwich, and it will be broadcast live exclusively on talkSPORT 2.
