Leicester City reportedly blocked Leeds United’s transfer for Australia centre-back Harry Souttar as the player sought more playing time.

Leeds are set to host Leicester in a top-of-the-table clash in the Championship in a little over 24 hours in west Yorkshire.

The Whites are coming into the game on the back of an eight-game winning streak in the Championship, while Leicester lost at home to Middlesbrough a few days ago.

 

However, Leicester have a six-point lead at the top of the Championship table and could stretch it to nine if they become the first side to take points off Leeds at Elland Road since September.

But Maresca insisted that it is just another game for his Leicester team on Friday night.

He did insist that it is a bigger game for Leeds with Ipswich Town breathing down their neck for the last automatic promotion spot and by virtue of the fact Leicester are top.
