Leicester City has officially been promoted back to the Premier League following a significant defeat of their closest rivals, Leeds United, by Queens Park Rangers. The 4-0 loss at QPR sealed Leicester's top position in the Championship, leaving them with 94 points and just two games remaining.
Leeds United remains in second place with 90 points but has only one game left to play. This puts them at risk of being overtaken by third-place Ipswich Town, who currently hold 89 points with three games left. This dynamic sets the stage for a potentially dramatic conclusion to the Championship season.
Leicester City, under the guidance of manager Enzo Maresca, has achieved promotion in their first season since being relegated from the Premier League last year. Their final matches are scheduled against Preston and Blackburn, offering them a chance to finish their triumphant season on a high note.
Leeds' hopes for automatic promotion are now precarious. They could find themselves out of the top two if Ipswich manages to secure a win against Hull on Saturday or if Coventry wins their game in hand on Tuesday. A successful run by Ipswich in their remaining matches could see them promoted automatically, pushing Leeds into the playoff position.
Meanwhile, QPR’s victory not only disrupted Leeds’ promotion hopes but also secured their own survival in the Championship, thanks to goals from Ilias Chair, Lucas Andersen, Lyndon Dykes, and Sam Field.
