Leicester City: How Enzo Maresca's Foxes bounced back to Premier League at first time of asking

It was touch-and-go at times towards the end, but Leicester have now secured promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking. The Foxes - who won the Premier League against the odds in 2015/16 - had been relegated under Dean Smith on the final day of the 2022/23 season, bringing their nine-season spell back in the top flight to a close.

Leicester were still nine points clear of Leeds on February 17, even after a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough. But that gap narrowed to six after a damaging 3-1 defeat to Leeds, in a game where they'd taken the lead, and became just three when they lost 2-1 to QPR. More concerningly, there were now only eight points between them, Ipswich, Leeds and Southampton. 'It's been long time since we have been at the top and everyone is chasing us,' said Maresca after the QPR game.
