Leicester City seal Premier League return after Leeds City slip up

Published on

Leicester City have secured promotions back to the Premier League just a season after they were relegated to the English second division.

The Foxes secured automatic promotion back into the Premier League after second-place Leeds – who are four points behind them – were defeated 4-0 at Loftus Road on Friday night.

Enzo Maresca’s Foxes are currently having a good season, sitting top of the Sky Bet Championship table after so far accumulating 94 points from 44 games.

Leicester City will be eager to add more points with two games left to play. Their final two games begin with a trip to Preston on Monday, before they round off the season with a home finale against Blackburn on 4 May.

Defeat means Leeds sit only one point above third-place Ipswich, but the Tractor Boys have three more matches to play compared to Leeds’ one.

While Leeds City’s hope of promoting to the Premier League was dashed, QPR secured their Championship survival in style.
