EFL pundit David Prutton has sent a damning warning to Leicester City after last Friday’s loss to Leeds United.
Leicester City were running away with the league, but after Leeds beat them last Friday at the King Power, the narrative has changed slightly.
Despite remaining 11 points clear of Leeds, many have predicted the Whites may be about to mount a sustained challenge on Leicester.
Darren Bent went as far as warning Leicester and explained that every side has a bad patch, and this could be the Foxes’.
Now David Prutton has joined in with a similar verdict as he was quoted in Leicestershire Live.
Prutton on Leicester
“The gap would have been 17 points had Leicester won, but now it’s just 11.
“Leeds’ next port of call is cutting the gap on second and then possibly catching Leicester. I don’t agree with what a lot of people are saying in that it’s done and dusted.
“I think Leicester have been the standout performers this season but Leeds showed a way to beat them.
“Leicester have now lost two games, while Leeds have lost three, so it’s those fine margins of draws for Leeds that has created this gap, but there’s plenty of time.”
Maresca needs to avoid another loss
One loss is easy to bounce back from, as Enzo Maresca showed after losing to Hull City with a nine-game winning run.
But if Leicester slip to two losses, very quickly it could become a streak, with Ipswich potentially going joint top.
Therefore a win against Middlesbrough is pivotal this weekend for Maresca, ahead of international break number three this season.
