— Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) April 23, 2024 Six points from touching the sky

Leicester City is closer to reaping the rewards of this good season. Breaking their short (but bad) streak of two defeats in a row. The top two will get direct promotion to the Premier League and the next four will play a playoff to define the last free place.  The Foxes have been in first place practically since the first matchday. Even if they lose this match, they could be promoted directly without depending on other results by taking 6 points. If they beat the "Saints", they would practically ensure direct promotion.

On the brink of financial meltdown

Leicester City, currently in the Championship, reported a loss of £89 million ($103,832,285) for the 2022-2023 season, bringing its total negative over the last three financial years to £215 million ($250,830,801). These figures exceed the £105 million over three seasons that the Premier League allows clubs, so Leicester was accused of financial irregularities and could face losing points like Everton, who were deducted six, and Nottingham Forest, who lost four.
