LEICESTER’S BID for automatic promotion back to the Premier League stumbled again with a 1-0 defeat to Plymouth on Friday.
Leicester seemed destined to bounce straight back from their shock relegation last season after winning 13 of their first 14 league games this season.Advertisement Enzo Maresca’s men also lost 1-0 to relegation-threatened Millwall in midweek and have won just two of their last six games. The 2016 Premier League winners could find themselves out of the automatic promotion places by Saturday should Leeds and Ipswich avoid defeat at home to Blackburn and Middlesbrough respectively.
The Foxes were charged with breaching the top flight’s profitability and sustainability rules last month in relation to the assessment period ending with the 2022-23 season, when they were still a Premier League club.
