Leicester City have had an impressive start to the Championship campaign this season and many expect them to secure promotion back to the Premier League at the end of the season.
The Foxes have won 13 of their first 15 league fixtures this season, but they have recently crashed to a narrow defeat against Leeds United.
EFL pundit David Prutton claims that Leicester are not guaranteed to secure promotion just yet despite their impressive start.
It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back with a strong performance when they take on Middlesbrough at the weekend.
Prutton believes that there is a long way to go in the Championship and the Foxes will have to sustain their form if they want to return to the top flight.
He said: “A lot of the chatter about the game is that it was a plucky Leeds performance. Leeds fell out of the Premier League at the same time as Leicester City and their ambitions are exactly the same – to get back there as soon as possible.
“I think Leicester have been the standout performers this season but Leeds showed a way to beat them. Leicester have now lost two games, while Leeds have lost three, so it’s those fine margins of draws for Leeds that has created this gap, but there’s plenty of time.”
Mr Prutton is a very clever man isn’t he!! What a load of rubbish nonsense to write/say. Why do pundits come out with such garb – Of course there’s a long way to go in the championship and yes at the moment LCFC are doing OK. The club will take what they’ve achieved but who can say what will happen? Leeds were great, Ipswich couldn’t take advantage. Preston have fell away again. Football throws up so many things. Lets see at 40 odd games then start coming out with some pundit superlatives. Leave the ‘think’ and ‘guessing’ alone. Yawn!
