Paul Merson praised Leeds United as “undoubtedly extraordinary” during a live segment on Sky Sports following Leicester’s latest defeat in their pursuit for promotion.
After a 1-0 loss to Bristol City on Good Friday, Leicester’s hopes for moving up the Championship table took a hit. However, if Leeds can secure a win against Watford, they will be three points ahead at the top.
Merson commended the work being done at Elland Road and Ipswich, calling it “jaw-dropping”. He emphasized how impressive it is, especially for Ipswich, given their resources.
Leeds, being a prominent club, had high expectations for promotion at the beginning of the season and it seems they are on track to achieve that goal. On the other hand, Leicester, once considered favorites, have been struggling in recent games.
The talent of the Leeds United team is undeniable, and with Ipswich showing great results on a limited budget, both clubs are making waves in the Championship. The opportunity for Leeds to make a return to the Premier League is within reach, and they are in control of their destiny for automatic promotion.
