With two games remaining, Leicester is three points away from Premier League safety.
Dean Smith, Leicester's manager, acknowledges that his team is 'in the last chance saloon' in terms of Premier League survival.
With two games remaining and three points from safety, the Foxes travel to Newcastle on Monday.
Regardless of the outcome at St. James' Park, Everton's 1-1 draw at Wolves on Saturday means the battle for survival will continue on the last day.
Smith is aware of the importance of the match since a win would lift the Foxes out of the relegation zone and above the Toffees on goal differential.
"We are pretty much in the last chance saloon with a game against Newcastle," he remarked, noting that the Foxes will play West Ham on Sunday, the final day of the season.
"The two words I'd use to describe what I've observed are disappointment and dissatisfaction. The players are aware that we are out of games to make that right, though.
"Would you accept it if someone had said to me before I arrived here for the final eight games, 'If you win at home the last game of the season (to survive), would you take it?'" I most likely would have.
"Hopefully we can get there, but first we need to perform well and beat Newcastle.
There are things we've investigated and actions we've taken. You don't push up like we did for the opening goal against Liverpool when there is no pressure on the ball.
In terms of video analysis, we've done a ton of work in the classroom, and we've also done some work on the field.
"I've always told the players that errors would be made by both teams. People will make mistakes, and when that happens, you'll need assistance from your teammate.
We probably haven't had the opportunity to assist one another as much as we would have liked.
The Leicester Tigers know that two victories in their next two games will guarantee their survival, barring a significant goal differential swing in Everton's favor. The Magpies need a point to secure Champions League qualifying.
