Leicester City are currently leading the Championship and on track for a Premier League return. If they don’t win promotion, key players like James Maddison and Harvey Barnes may leave the club. Retaining Kasey McAteer may be more likely if Leicester fends off Leeds United, as they could potentially retain Jack Harrison on loan instead
They haven’t been perfect this term, but at this point, they are currently doing more than enough to get themselves back to the top flight, which is a real boost for them.
For a side that have won the top-tier title and FA Cup in the past decade, they will be extremely disappointed to find themselves in the Championship.
They will redeem themselves by winning promotion though, with the Foxes currently looking set to take up one of the three promotion places.
It’s currently unclear who else will take up those places, but Ipswich Town have started the season extremely well and Leeds United have been able to bounce back after winning just one of their opening five league games of the 2023/24 season.
