As the second tier of the English league, the competition for promotion in the Championship is very fierce, and the maximum point difference between the top three is only 2 points, and the 2 direct places will be generated between Ipswich Town, Leeds United and Leicester City.
Ipswich Town, a promoted polo team that was a League One side last season, have been promoted to the Championship this season, and have been in the top three in the top three, and recently overtook Leicester City to the top of the table.
In the first two months, Leicester City once led Ipswich by as many as 12 points, and because of the record of only 1 win and 1 draw in 6 rounds in 3 months, Ipswich had a chance to overtake and reach the top.
At present, Ipswich leads the standings with 87 points in 40 rounds and occupies the initiative for direct promotion. On the evening of April 6, Beijing time, the 41st round of the English Championship ushered in a match, and Ipswich challenged Norwich away.
In the end, Ipswich lost 1-0 and went 17 games without a win against Norwich, with eight draws and nine defeats, with the last win dating back to 2006.
Less than three hours after Ipswich Town lost, Leeds United also fell, and the final 2-1 defeat to Coventry City gave Leicester City a chance to return to the top of the table.
Facing Birmingham, Leicester City relied on Mavididi's goal in the 87th minute of the second half to complete the home 1-0 stunner.
In the latest standings, Leicester City has 88 points in 40 rounds and has risen to first, Ipswich has 87 points in 41 rounds and retreats to second, and Leeds United has 86 points in 41 rounds and has fallen to third, with the largest point difference of only 2 points.
According to the rules, the top two teams in the Championship table can go straight to the Premier League next season, and the third to sixth teams will play promotion play-offs.
Leicester City, who were champions of the 2015/16 Premier League season and were relegated to the Championship after a 10-year hiatus, are now hopeful of returning to the Premier League with a guaranteed £100 million share of revenue, which is the main reason why Championship teams are so eager to be promoted to the Premier League.
