Former Leicester City striker Gary Lineker has remained adamant that his old side will hold off Leeds United and return to the Premier League despite losing their last three games.
Leicester City’s chances of winning the Championship and getting promoted have been hit hard after losing to Middlesbrough, Leeds and QPR. Ipswich Town and Southampton are among the other promotion chasers keeping the pressure on with 11 matches left.
Tonight, Leicester visit Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland have lost their last four matches themselves but the Black Cats still have a chance of finishing in the play-off places.

Lineker believes his old team can change their luck. On the Rest is Football podcast, he said: “It’s a bit squeaky bum time now that we’ve lost three on the bounce in the league. We’ve been a bit unfortunate.“, he said on the Rest is Football podcast.
