Leicester City will resume their push for the English Premier League title, while Manchester City will try to stay within striking distance of the leaders in Week 28 of competition.
Leicester City will host West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday at King Power Stadium. The Foxes are still on top of the English Premier League table after Week 27 with 56 points, but they are just two points ahead of second-placed Tottenham, which means a loss on Tuesday could hurt their title aspirations.

Leicester City, which scored a 1-0 win against Norwich on Saturday, are favored to win because West Bromwich are just 13th in the table with 35 points, but Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri knows they have no room for complacency in their remaining games this season.
"There aren't any easy matches," Ranieri said after their win against Norwich via the league's official website. "Every match is a battle. Every match you can lose."

Meanwhile, Manchester City will see action again on Wednesday at Anfield against Liverpool. Manchester City did not see action in Week 27, as they faced Liverpool in the Capital One Cup final.
Manchester City, which is currently fourth in the table with 47 points in 26 games, are hoping that they will pick up from where they left off during their 3-1 penalty shootout win against the Reds on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is happy to win a title before handing the team to Pep Guardiola next season, but he reiterated that they are not content, setting their sights on the Premier League title and Champions League glory.
"We are not going to give up on the Premier League -- we have to play for another 36 points -- and we have made a huge step in the Champions League," Pellegrini told the league's official website. "To win the title, we have to have a lot of trust."
