Leicester will not be in the most effective of moments, as trendy managers prefer to say, regardless of being prime of the league. Wilfred Ndidi is out long-term, Kelechi Iheanacho remains to be lacking and it appears Jamie Vardy has an damage, too, which retains him out of the matchday squad. Throw in the truth that the Foxes misplaced their earlier sport and you’ve got just a few wobbles for Maresca’s males to take care of.
That stated, a win immediately would most likely put the rubber seal on computerized promotion for them and solely 4 Championship groups (Middlesbrough twice, Coventry, Leeds and Hull) have truly overwhelmed Leicester this season. They’re nonetheless a formidable outfit.

With Leicester at present having fun with a seven-point cushion on the prime, it’s most likely an even bigger sport for Leeds tonight. They will really feel Ipswich and Southampton respiratory down their necks, and people groups in third and fourth respectively have pretty pleasant house video games tomorrow – by which they’ll be anticipated to capitalise on any Leeds slip-up.
