Leicester City head coach Enzo Maresca named the teams he feels are in with a shot of automatic promotion this season - including Leeds United - after the Whites’ 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium.
The Italian acknowledged Friday night’s meeting between the two sides, currently 1st and 3rd in the division, was a spectacle for those inside the ground and watching elsewhere on television. Speaking to Leeds boss Daniel Farke after the full-time whistle, Maresca said the pair discussed the quality of the contest, demonstrating the respect he holds for his opposite number in his post-match comments.
Leeds’ record on the road now stands at four wins, three defeats and one draw. “They are very good, quick, dangerous, good technically. Overall happy, we cannot win all the games, defeat is part of the process. For sure, we can do something better. “They start better than us, the reason why I don't know. I think after our reaction was very good. “There are many teams building to get promoted like us, Leeds they are building to get promoted.
