Ipswich Town stands on the cusp of joining Leicester City in the Premier League next season, as they require just four points from their final two matches in the Championship.
Kieran McKenna’s side faces a pivotal away match against Coventry on Tuesday night, live on Sky Sports, with a win or a draw all but securing their promotion. The Championship title was already decided on Monday night when Leicester City clinched the trophy with a 3-0 victory over Preston.
Ipswich now holds the advantage in the race for the second automatic promotion spot, despite Leeds United’s disappointing 4-0 defeat to QPR. The defeat leaves Leeds on 90 points with just one game remaining at home to Southampton on Saturday. Their promotion fate now rests on Ipswich’s performance in their final two matches.
Ipswich, despite a 3-3 draw at Hull on Saturday night, has their destiny in their own hands. They need to secure four points at most from their remaining encounters at Coventry and at home to Huddersfield to secure their return to the Premier League.
Leicester City has already secured the Championship title with one game to spare and will receive the trophy after their match against Blackburn on Saturday. The match will determine if they can reach the milestone of 100 points in the division.
