Last season, Leicester City was relegated from the English Premier League and moved to the Championship. However, the team returned to the Premier League after one season after a great turnaround. They did their job by beating Southampton 5-0. Leeds United did the rest. And with that, Leicester returned to the top league of English football.
Leeds United’s 4-0 defeat of Queens Park Rangers in the EFL Championship match on Friday (April 26) ensured Leicester’s return to the Premier League. The Championship’s top two teams are promoted directly to the Premier League. As such, Leicester City is now sure to be in the top two. They have 94 points in 44 matches.
Meanwhile, Leeds United’s prospects suffered a major blow by collapsing at Queens Park Rangers. So far they are second in the points table with 90 points from 45 matches. But they have only one match left. Ipswich Town are third with 89 points. But they still have three matches left. Therefore, they are ahead in the possibility of being in the top two.
However, Leeds coach Daniel Farke is not giving up now, ‘There is no explanation for the way we played in the first 20 minutes. Congratulations to Queens Park Rangers for the win, congrats to Leicester for promotion to premiership. But the fight is not over yet. If Ipswich don’t win the next two games, we will have a lot to do in the final days.’
