Carlton Palmer is confident that the Championship title race could come down to a three-horse battle between Ipswich Town, Leeds United, and Leicester City.
The race for automatic promotion has been intense, with Leeds setting a ferocious pace and dragging Leicester back into the mix after back-to-back defeats. Ipswich has also been on a winning streak, with nine consecutive league wins. Southampton’s recent losses have allowed both Ipswich and Leicester to close the gap.
The upcoming fixtures for all three teams will be defining, with Ipswich taking on teams in the bottom half, while Leeds faces sides threatened by relegation. Palmer believes that Leeds have a strong chance of promotion, but both Ipswich and Leicester could also catch up.
Despite Leicester still being in a strong position, Palmer believes they will have to pick up their form in order to remain ahead of Leeds and Ipswich. While it may be unlikely for both teams to catch Leicester, it is still possible, and the race for automatic promotion is far from over.
