Enzo Maresca believes that the gap between his Leicester City side and other top contenders like Leeds United isn’t as big as it may seem. Leicester is currently dominating the Championship with an impressive 78 points after 32 matches, putting them 12 points ahead of second-place Leeds. Despite the strong performances of Leeds, Southampton, and Ipswich Town, Maresca emphasized that the difference in their performance over the last 25 games is minimal.
While Leeds faced challenges during a turbulent summer transfer window, Leicester managed to secure key players and build a strong squad quickly. Maresca lauded the consistency and mentality of his players, while also recognizing the impressive performance of Leeds as the best counter-attacking team in the division.
Even with praise for Leeds and other strong clubs, Leicester remains a top contender for promotion. However, Maresca acknowledged the fierce competition and high standard of play in the Championship, with every team vying for a chance at promotion.
