Leicester City’s aspirations for an immediate return to the Premier League took a blow with a 1-0 loss to Bristol City. The defeat, coupled with Ipswich’s victory, saw the Foxes drop out of the automatic promotion places.

Enzo Maresca’s side, who led the table by 17 points just 12 weeks ago, have struggled in recent weeks, winning only one of their last six league matches. The loss to Bristol City sees them overtaken by both Ipswich and Leeds in the standings. Leicester’s Anis Mehmeti scored the decisive goal in the match, firing a left-footed shot past the goalkeeper in the 73rd minute. Despite Jamie Vardy’s efforts, including two denied attempts, Leicester couldn’t find an equalizer.

The Foxes now face a crucial match against Norwich City, another promotion contender, at the King Power Stadium. With Southampton and West Brom also in the mix for the play-off spots, Leicester will need to regain their form quickly to secure a spot in the top flight next season.
