Former Leicester City striker Gary Lineker has claimed that the Foxes will continue their late revival and survive relegation from the Premier League.
Nigel Pearson's charges have won five of their last six matches to climb to 16th place in the table, one point clear of the relegation zone.
Leicester have three matches left, at home to Southampton on Saturday, away to Sunderland on May 16 and at home to Queens Park Rangers on May 24, the final day of the season.
Lineker told BBC Sport: "It's important [Leicester] stay focused but if I was a neutral looking at this, I would say 99% sure Leicester will stay up. It's not impossible, of course, and lose the next two games and you are bang under the cosh.
"It's nice to have in the bag that the last game is QPR at home when it's massively odds-on for them to be relegated by that stage. That might be quite handy if things don't go too well in the next two games.
"I don't want to tempt fate but given their turnaround in fortunes, and given the fixtures that other sides at the bottom have got and the fixtures Leicester have got, I would now be quite surprised if they don't."
Lineker scored 103 goals in 216 games for the East Midlands outfit between 1978 and 1985.
