Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca has warned his side that they can’t afford to drop their performance levels because teams including today’s opponents Queens Park Rangers will be ready to pounce, speaking to Leicestershire Live.
The Foxes are the strong favourites coming into this clash, having won 12 of their 13 league games so far this season.
Their only league loss of the campaign came against Hull City and it could definitely be argued that they deserved a point or three from that game, with the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Abdul Fatawu coming close during that match.
They have responded brilliantly to that setback against the Tigers and are now in pole position to secure promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Their current position isn’t a surprise despite the fact they lost the likes of James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, because Enzo Maresca is a very talented coach and they still have some excellent players at their disposal following a productive summer transfer window.
They will be expected to secure another three points against QPR this afternoon, even though they don’t have the home advantage with this clash taking place in the English capital.
Gareth Ainsworth’s R’s have been poor at times this term – and currently find themselves in the drop zone following a poor 2022/23 campaign that almost saw them relegated from the Championship.
Failing to win a single league game at home since their victory over Watford back in March, it would be a shock if they managed to secure a victory this afternoon to end that winless run at Loftus Road.
