Jamie Vardy’s Farewell: Leicester City Hosts Ipswich in Final Match

Leicester, England – Jamie Vardy is set to play his last game for Leicester City on Sunday, May 18, as they face Ipswich Town at the King Power Stadium at 10 a.m. ET. With both teams at the bottom of the Premier League table, this match provides a rare opportunity for celebration for either side.

Currently, Leicester sits in 19th place with 22 points, while Ipswich is just above them in 18th, also with 22 points but a better goal difference. Both teams have struggled this season, with Leicester managing only three league wins in 2025. Leicester has scored merely nine goals in 17 matches since the new year.

Vardy, Leicester’s all-time top scorer, is on the hunt for his 200th club goal before departing. The Foxes recently announced that he will play his final match at home, giving fans a chance to honor him in person. “It means everything to go out on a high note in front of our fans,” Vardy said.

Ipswich is dealing with significant injuries, losing key players such as Nathan Broadhead and Wes Burns. They have not won any of their last five matches, which could be a deciding factor against a Leicester team who are also struggling. Leicester fans hope Vardy can lead the way in this crucial match.

The teams have a long history, but the 2012 match where Leicester won 6-0 remains a memorable point of dominance for them. As both teams prepare to drop to the Championship, they aim to finish the season with some pride.

With kickoff imminent, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. “This is our chance to show that we can bounce back,” said Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. “We want to end the season with a win, especially for Jamie.”

As the final whistle approaches, Vardy and his teammates hope to secure a victory that honors their captain and gives fans a moment to remember. A prediction from an analyst suggests a close game, stating, “Leicester could edge it 2-1 against Ipswich.”
