“Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds in Tight Race for Championship Promotion; Sky Sports to Broadcast Midweek Fixtures Live”
The race for the Premier League promotion is heating up in the Sky Bet Championship, with Leicester, Ipswich, and Leeds all still in contention for the two automatic promotion places. With just five rounds of the season remaining, every game from the midweek fixtures will be live on Sky Sports.
Leicester currently sits at the top of the table with 88 points, but a recent 1-0 defeat to Millwall has put their position in jeopardy. Despite their slip-up, they still have a game in hand against Southampton later in April to make up ground.
Leeds, just one point behind Leicester with 87 points, had the opportunity to overtake them on Tuesday but were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Sunderland. Controversial penalty appeals were waved away, leaving Leeds wondering how costly that decision could be in the long run.
Ipswich, also on 87 points, had a brief spell at the top of the table after three consecutive wins, but a defeat to Norwich has put their automatic promotion hopes at risk. However, with Leeds and Leicester both dropping points, Ipswich could still leapfrog them into the top spot.
With the race for promotion heating up, every game becomes crucial for these three teams. The upcoming fixtures will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike as the battle for the Premier League intensifies. Stay tuned to Sky Sports for all the live action and updates on this thrilling Championship season.
