The Foxes are on course to achieve 100 points as they make their way back to the top flight after being relegated last season. They have the opportunity to clinch the Championship title on Monday with a win against Preston, provided that third-placed Ipswich fail to defeat Hull City on Saturday.
Ipswich could also earn promotion to the Premier League next season if they gather five points from their remaining three matches.
Leicester City encountered a strong start in their journey back to the Premier League earlier in the season, but suffered a slump in form towards the end. However, they managed to recover and secure promotion in impressive fashion.
Their recent 5-0 victory over Southampton marked consecutive wins for a team that seemed to be struggling towards automatic promotion. In mid-February, Leicester appeared destined for the title and promotion, leading by 12 points at the top of the table with a 14-point cushion over third place.
However, a series of setbacks, including losses and a narrow win, transformed the campaign into a tight race for the top two spots, involving Leeds, Ipswich, and Southampton.
Despite momentarily losing their grip on the top spot, Leicester capitalized on slip-ups from their rivals and sealed their return to the Premier League.
