Enzo Maresca thinks the Whites’ next Championship match, which takes place on Friday, February 23, between Leeds United and Leicester City, is more significant.

Although Leeds can win, the difference between the two teams might drop to just six points. Currently, the Foxes are in the lead in the Championship table.

The Leicester manager has not expressed any concerns about the probable six-pointer, despite Daniel Farke’s team winning the rematch at the King Power Stadium in November.

Maresca stated, “A huge game for Leeds,” in an interview with BBC Sport Leicester journalist Owynn Palmer-Atkin via X on Thursday, February 22. For ourselves? The Whites are pursuing Leicester, who have space at the top of the league, as they put it: “It’s just another game.”

Leeds United could hand major blow to Leicester City

Maresca is aware that the outcome of the match might significantly affect Leicester’s prospects of winning the title, even if he will never acknowledge how crucial it is for his team.

Farke’s team has risen above Southampton and Ipswich Town in the Championship after winning their past eight games, while Leicester will be into the encounter fresh off a loss to Middlesbrough.

The visitors have led the league by a significant margin since the beginning of the season, but the final stretch could see a change in that situation.

Leeds could potentially become the front-runner for the title for the first time this season with a victory on Friday, February 23. Ipswich and Southampton are also close behind.

The Leicester manager will exercise caution when speaking to the media, but his instructions to his team will be far more sombre and cautious. At this moment, any mistake is crucial.
