Leeds United Issued With ‘We’re Better Chasing’ Warning By Former Leicester City Star
Former Leicester City winger Matt Piper has warned Championship league leaders Leeds United that the Foxes have made a name for themselves by being the underdogs and they will be better at chasing than being on top.
The Foxes had been enjoying a 12-point lead at the top before losing three successive games against Middlesbrough, Leeds and QPR.
That saw their position come under threat and after a 2-2 draw against Hull City in their last league match, they find themselves being replaced by Leeds on top, though they have a game in hand.
With nine games remaining in the regular campaign for Leicester, Piper, a Leicester City academy graduate, believes that it will be better for Enzo Maresca’s side to chase table-toppers Leeds than protect their position on top of the table.
He even floated the idea that Leicester could beat Reading to the most number of points accumulated during a single Championship table.
Leeds get green light to sign ‘very good’ Prem midfielder as second deal worth €12m collapses
Leeds United are reportedly growing in confidence they can secure the signing of Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff this summer subject to two conditions being met – but a second transfer has now collapsed to give Daniel Farke a major summer headache.
The Whites have been in scintilating form since the turn of the year, winning 12 of their 13 Championship matches to surge to the top of the table and help a 17-point deficit to runaway leaders Leicester evaporate. With the mood around the Leeds United camp higher than ever going into the March international break, the West Yorkshire side now have eight games remaining to secure their place back in the Premier League.
