After three successive wins against the likes of Rotherham United, Stoke City and Plymouth Argyle, Norwich suffered their 14th Championship defeat of the season away to title-challengers Leicester on Monday. The Canaries took an early lead through Gabriel Sara’s 20th-minute opener, but the Foxes fought back to take all three points courtesy of one effort each from Kiernan-Dewsbury-Hall, Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy. Despite the defeat, David Wagner’s men are holding on to the playoff spot, having taken 12 points from the last possible 18. Moreover Norwich have won each of their last seven home games in the league, scoring 20 goals and conceding just five in the process.
Ipswich, on the other hand, secured a last ditch victory versus Southampton on Monday courtesy of Leif Davis’ 13th-minute opener, Nathan Broadhead’s 68th-minute equaliser and Jeremy Sarmiento’s winner seven minutes into the injury time. It was their 26th Championship-win of the season. Moreover, the Tractor Boys have remarkably won nine of their last ten outings, the only defeat coming against Cardiff City earlier in March. Meanwhile, with Leicester just two points adrift and with a game in hand, Kieran McKenna’s side cannot take their foot off the pedal.
