Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is anticipating a challenging final day of the Championship season despite his team’s victory over Coventry City, which brings them closer to a Premier League return. Kieffer Moore’s early goal for Ipswich was canceled out by Haji Wright’s equalizer for Coventry, but Cameron Burgess quickly restored Ipswich’s lead, putting them on the cusp of promotion. A draw against Huddersfield Town, who are facing relegation, would secure Ipswich’s return to the top flight for the first time since 2002. Ipswich could become the fourth team since 1992 to earn consecutive promotions from the third division to the Premier League, following in the footsteps of Watford, Norwich City, and Southampton. McKenna expressed confidence in his team’s abilities, citing their consistency, preparation, and focus. However, he also acknowledged the potential for difficulties, emphasizing that anything can happen in a football match. Meanwhile, Coventry manager Mark Robins praised Ipswich’s accomplishments while acknowledging his team’s defensive struggles, which have contributed to their recent setbacks. Both teams will conclude their regular Championship campaigns on Saturday, May 4, with Coventry hosting QPR and Ipswich facing Huddersfield at Portman Road. Sky Sports will broadcast crucial promotion and relegation matches on the final day of the Championship, with Leicester City already crowned champions.
