Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton has given his prediction on who will secure the second automatic promotion spot from Leeds United and Ipswich Town.
Though the Foxes are not mathematically there yet, Tuesday night’s 5-0 win over Southampton means they now have promotion and the title all but wrapped up. Just one win from their remaining two matches is needed.
And with Southampton now out of the race, it is solely between Leeds and Ipswich for that final top two position as the season approaches its final eight days.
Leeds are currently the side who occupy that all important second place, but are just a point clear of Ipswich, who also have a game in hand.
Daniel Farke’s side are in action first this weekend, as they make the trip to Queens Park Rangers tonight. Though the tight turnaround from Monday has been branded ‘disgusting’, it could actually be advantageous.
Another three points for Leeds would move them four clear of Ipswich and would really pile the pressure on ahead of back-to-back away games at Hull and Coventry City. Only two wins would put it back in their hands ahead of the final day.
