Leicester City have been promoted back to Premier League at the first time of asking, after promotion rivals Leeds lost four nil to QPR last night (April 26th).

It means Leicester City sit in top spot with 94 points, four points above Leeds, who now only have one game left to play.

The Foxes will still have to fight to secure the title, with Ipswich - on 89 points - set to play the first of their three remaining games today.

LCFC were on track for a record points haul in the Championship after a blistering start to their campaign, winning 13 of their first 14 league games.

Blips in form later in the season saw the Foxes blow a big lead on automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town and Leeds United, but a recent resurgence in their last two games saw the club gain maximum points against high-flyers West Brom and Southampton.

Enzo Maresca's side have the chance to consolidate the title with a win away against Preston North End on Monday night.
