“Will Leicester City actually relegate?” is a question on the mind of most Championship fans. The Foxes, who won the EPL title just a decade ago, now stare down the League One table today. There are still 18 points to play for, but whether Leicester capitalises on that depends on whether they can overcome Sheffield Wednesday. See our match prediction below.
Leicester have been absolutely abysmal this season, by their standards at least. The visitors have won only 11 of 40 games, which now puts them in 22nd place and one point off the safe zone. The Foxes have been trying to mount a resurgence in the past weeks, but have largely failed to turn their efforts into all three points.
In their last 15 games, Leicester has won only one game after managing a rare win this season over Bristol City (2-0). They have, however, picked up points in four of their last five games, after three draws, one win and one loss. Leicester now has a tangible opportunity to crawl out of the relegation zone against Sheffield Wednesday, the outright worst team this season.
Sheffield, nicknamed The Owls, has won only one of 40 games this season, while recording a staggering 30 losses. Interestingly, they were on course to beat Leicester in the first leg, but lost the lead after a red card.
