Leeds United spark twist for Preston North End and Leicester City as QPR deal huge blow

Leicester City will no longer be playing for promotion to the Premier League, against Preston North End on Monday night. Leeds United ensured the Foxes’ celebrations could begin on Friday night, as Daniel Farke’s side were thrashed 4-0 at Queens Park Rangers. Marti Cifuentes’ team beat PNE 1-0 last weekend and backed that result up, to secure Championship safety. For Leeds, the defeat dealt a crushing blow to their automatic promotion hopes.

Should Ipswich fail to beat Hull on Saturday, then Leicester can claim the Championship title with victory at Deepdale. North End are 10th at the time of writing and out of the play-off picture, but determined to finish the season, at home, on a high. On facing Leicester, manager Ryan Lowe said: “We all want parties on our pitch and one day, hopefully that is the case. We want to avoid anyone having a party on our pitch, of course.
