Kieran McKenna prepares for tense final day as Ipswich aim for Premier League return

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is not expecting an easy ride on the final day of the Championship season as his team edges closer to a Premier League return. After a crucial victory against Coventry, Ipswich now only need a draw against Huddersfield to secure promotion to the top flight for the first time since 2002.

McKenna expressed his belief in his team’s abilities but acknowledged that anything can happen in football. He emphasized the importance of doing the right things to stay on top of the tension that comes with such high-stakes games.

The victory against Coventry showcased Ipswich’s resilience and ability to show a range of qualities to secure the win. Burgess’ winning goal put Ipswich three points clear of third-placed Leeds, positioning them well for promotion.

Both Ipswich and Coventry will play their final regular season games on Saturday, with Ipswich facing Huddersfield at Portman Road. The Championship final day fixtures will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, with crucial promotion and relegation battles still to be decided.

As the season reaches its climax, the tension and excitement in the Championship are set to reach fever pitch as teams fight for their Premier League dreams. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exhilarating conclusion to the season.
