Because Leicester City only achieved a sluggish record of 1 win and 1 draw in the previous 6 rounds, it gave Leeds United and Ipswich the opportunity to overtake, from leading by 12 points to falling behind by 2 points in one round less. At present, the 40th round of the Championship is over, Leicester City defeated Norwich City 3-1 at home, and returned to the top of the table less than 8 hours before being overtaken by Ipswich Town, who once again topped the table.

Of course, Ipswich would prefer to grab a ticket straight to the Premier League next season, as long as they finish in the top two of the table. At the moment, Ipswich has a good chance of a direct promotion.
