The latest Leeds United news as it was confirmed by the Premier League on Thursday that Leicester City have been charged with a breach of financial rules ahead of their final nine games of the Championship season.

Leeds United will be watching the Leicester City situation with interest with another big development this week ahead of the final nine games of the Championship season.

The charges for Leicester relate to the three-year period ending with the 2022/23 season, in which both they and Leeds were relegated to the Championship. That is where the difference comes with the charges for Nottingham Forest and Everton. While that won’t help Leeds in their quest for promotion this season, it could benefit the Whites in the longer term if both teams make it to the Premier League. Any possible points deduction for Leicester would put them on the back foot in the race for survival, even before a ball is kicked.

Leeds have already overturned a 17 point advantage that Enzo Maresca’s side had on them. It’s still to be seen if the off-the-field upset will impact on players’ performances on the pitch.
