This season's Premier League title race is in a confusing situation, with all three teams hoping to win the title. At present, Arsenal and Liverpool are both on 71 points, ranking 1st and 2nd in the league respectively, while Manchester City has 70 points and ranks 3rd. In such a Premier League, I am afraid that the champion will not be decided until the last moment. The Championship, the second tier of England, is in a similar situation right now, with title races looking good. 0-1! The former Premier League champion was upset, overturned by the relegation team, and the title race was all in chaos: the top 3 were only 1 point away.
In the 42nd round of the Championship that ended on April 10, Leicester City faced Millwall away from home. Leicester City's starting lineup has Vardy, Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, Winks and other famous players, and the starting value has reached 131 million euros. Millwall started at just €24.5 million, but Leicester City, who had a better squad, lost.
Leicester had empty possession but were inefficient in attack. With 72 per cent possession, Leicester repeatedly attacked empty-handed and failed to find the back of the net. In the 59th minute of the game, Millwall's Longman scored from distance. After that, Leicester City used up five substitutions, and players such as Iheanacho came off the bench to save the game, and Leicester City lost by one goal.
Millwall have picked up the crucial three points on the road to relegation and currently sit 17th in the Championship with 47 points, four points above the relegation zone. Leeds United also did not win in this round, drawing 0-0 at home to Sunderland. Leicester City have missed the opportunity to consolidate their lead in the table, as they are currently in first place in the league with 88 points from 41 games, Leeds United are second with 87 points from 42 games, and Ipswich are third with 87 points from 41 games.
Ipswich Town's opponent in this round is Watford, who will play at home, and Ipswich Town has a chance to rise to the top of the table. Although Leicester City currently leads the points, their title race is not good, and in the last 9 rounds of Leicester City, the Blue Foxes have only achieved 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. Previously, Leicester City had an obvious advantage, and at the critical moment of the championship, Leicester City began to drop the chain.
There are a total of 46 rounds of matches in the Championship, with the league champions and runners-up directly promoted to the top, and the 3rd-6th places participate in the play-offs to compete for one Premier League spot. Leicester City will need to brace themselves in the remaining games if they want to return to the Premier League, aiming for a top-two finish and a direct qualification for the Premier League. Who will be the Championship title this season?
