With Leicester City in FA Cup action against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, it offered the opportunity for both Leeds United and Ipswich Town to close the gap to Enzo Maresca’s side.
And both teams produced comfortable victories, with Daniel Farke’s side dethroning the Foxes at the summit of the table, with the Foxes having been top of the standings since October, while the Tractor Boys moved to within a point of a place in the top two.
With the final international break of the campaign upon us, it puts a pause in the race for promotion until the Easter weekend, but it looks set to go down to the final game of the season, with Southampton hoping they also have a say on the outcome of the top two.
Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town statistics
There is no denying the job that McKenna has done in his second season in charge of Ipswich has been nothing short of remarkable.
Since his arrival at Portman Road in 2021, the Tractor Boys have been in incredible form and earned promotion in the 37-year-old’s first full season in charge of the club from League One.
That form has continued this term, going toe to toe with the three relegated sides from the Premier League last year, which has seen McKenna attract interest from the division above, including a reported approach by Crystal Palace following speculation surrounding Roy Hodgson’s future at the club, before being replaced by Oliver Glasner.
But when closer analysing McKenna’s statistics at Ipswich, it is clear to see as to why he is man closely monitored as an up and coming coach in the footballing world.
