Leicester’s performance during their recent matches has been marked by significant ups and downs. After suffering an initial defeat at home by Hull, they managed to secure victory in their next nine matches, placing them in a strong position. However, a brief period of inconsistent form saw them lose to Leeds and Middlesbrough, before regaining their momentum with eight wins out of ten, extending their lead over third-place Leeds to 17 points. Despite this, a subsequent downturn in performance saw Leicester win only five out of 12 matches, creating a potential threat to their leading position.

The impressive form of Leeds, Ipswich, and Southampton added further pressure, leading to a four-team title race following the March international break. Although Leicester appeared to have regained their stride after defeating Norwich and Birmingham in early April, back-to-back away losses against Millwall and Plymouth placed them on the verge of dropping out of the top two positions. Fortunately for Leicester, their promotion rivals were unable to capitalize, allowing them to make a comeback. With 94 points from 44 matches, Leicester could potentially secure the title with a win at Preston on Monday, given that Ipswich fail to beat Hull on Saturday night.

Wilfred Ndidi expressed his pride and optimism for the team, signaling that there are only two more matches to go.
