Leicester City are within touching distance of making an instant return back to the Premier League.
It’s been a rocky couple of months for The Foxes but they looked back to the very best against Southampton, securing a thumping 5-0 victory to move four points clear at the summit.
Abdul Fatawu netted a hat-trick and was virtually unplayable at times against one of the best fullbacks in the division, Kyle Walker-Peters.
Enzo Maresca‘s side will secure promotion with a win on Monday evening when they travel to Preston North End, or if Queens Park Rangers defeat second-placed Leeds United on Friday.
They also still have the chance to break a Championship record in the remaining two games of the season.

It’s recently emerged, that if Leicester win their final two games, they will become the first team since the turn of the century to win 32 in a single Championship season.
