Leicester City will travel to face Hull City on Saturday afternoon, aiming to capitalize on their recent victory that put an end to a long series of losses.
Despite Leicester maintaining a three-point lead at the summit of the Championship table, Hull City finds themselves in sixth place following a string of three consecutive draws.
Having endured nearly half of their seven league defeats in a row, Enzo Maresca confronted the challenge of rallying his Leicester squad for their recent visit to Sunderland.
To the relief of Maresca and the Foxes, they clinched what could arguably be their most crucial victory of the season, with an early goal from Jamie Vardy securing the win at the Stadium of Light.
Leicester’s journey has shifted from appearing to secure the title easily to now aiming for automatic promotion, amid rumors hinting at potential off-the-pitch hurdles upon their return to the Premier League.
However, such matters are not at the forefront of Maresca’s concerns at the moment. The team currently holds a comfortable five-point lead over third-placed Leeds United, with just 10 league matches remaining.
Despite recent fluctuations in form, Leicester have managed to score in 20 consecutive Championship matches—a fact that will surely not escape Hull’s notice.
Earlier in the season, Hull surprised many by triumphing 1-0 at the King Power Stadium, making a statement in the early stages of the promotion battle.
Liam Rosenior’s team may have appeared inconsistent at times, yet they find themselves in sixth place and riding a six-game unbeaten streak as they approach the business end of the season.
However, on a less positive note, their last three fixtures have concluded in draws against West Bromwich Albion, Preston North End, and Birmingham City.
Moreover, Hull has only secured victory in seven of their 18 matches at the MKM Stadium, in contrast to Leicester’s impressive tally of 13 away wins so far.
