Fresh Leicester City updates from LeicestershireLive as the Foxes aim for a strong rebound following their second league defeat of the season. EFL pundit David Prutton remains cautious about Leicester City’s promotion prospects, despite their strong start in the Championship competition.
Despite their impressive form this season, which has seen them secure 13 victories in their first 15 league fixtures of 2023/24, Leicester suffered a setback with a 1-0 loss to Leeds United on Friday. This defeat reduced their lead inside the automatic promotion zone from 14 points to 11. With Leeds now trailing second-placed Ipswich Town by eight points, Enzo Maresca’s team is eager to recover as they prepare to face Middlesbrough on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Although Leicester remains the favorites according to bookmakers to secure an immediate return to the top flight, Prutton has cautioned that there is still a long road ahead. The former midfielder emphasized that while Leicester City has been outstanding this season, Leeds demonstrated a successful approach to defeating them. With Leicester having lost two games and Leeds three, the competition remains tight, and there is ample time for developments.
