Leicester City have sealed automatic promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Enzo Maresca‘s side have endured a rocky couple of months but they’ve turned the screw at the crucial time, winning four of their last six games.
Leeds United’s 4-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers on Friday sealed their top-two finish and now they have the chance to win the title on Monday evening when they face Preston North End at Deepdale.
Two points is all they need from the remaining two games to wrap up the league, though, they’ll want maximum points to amass 100.
A busy summer awaits Leicester City
The Foxes have nine players out of contract in the summer, though, three of those are loans expiring.
One is Abdul Fatawu, who is expected to complete a £14.5m switch after his loan deal became an obligation to buy due to City’s promotion.
Callum Doyle is set to return to Manchester City whilst Yunus Akgun may also depart back to his paernt club Galatasaray.
Doyle should certainly be a player the club look at bringing back, though, Akgun just hasn’t quite done enough to justify a second spell at King Power Stadium.
Jamie Vardy, Jannik Vestergaard and Wilfred Ndidi have been everpresents this term but could all become free agents.
Vardy and Vestergaard are believed to be in contract discussions.
Ryan Dilks predicts how Leicester City will fare in the Premier League
Speaking on the Second Tier podcast, Ryan Dilks issued his prediction on how Leicester will fare back in the Premier League.
“I think they’ll struggle in the Premier League,” Dilks admitted.
“I mean first of all there’s the strong possibility of a points deduction, which obviously isn’t a great start.
“Then there is just so much uncertainty heading into next season with regards to transfers.
“The big question is how long will this transfer embargo last, who really knows at this stage.”
It’ll be a big ask for Leicester to stay up next term if they are to receive a minus 10 deduction, though, any punishment less than that and it’s more than plausible to suggest that they’ll retain their top-flight status.
