Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca has bemoaned his side's fixture list during the Championship run-in, insisting the Foxes are disadvantaged compared to promotion rivals Leeds United and Ipswich Town.
The Italian saw his side beaten at Millwall on Tuesday night before travelling back up the M1 to Leicestershire the same evening and now faces a trip to relegation-threatened Plymouth Argyle for an 8pm kick-off on Friday. Quick turnarounds between fixtures is something Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has commented on throughout the season, in particular during the Whites' gruelling month of February which saw them make the journey to Plymouth twice in the space of two weeks.
“I am concerned, absolutely, 100 per cent about my players and about all the players that they play after 48 hours, two games in a row away, Plymouth, the longest trip of the season and arriving at 3am.' Maresca has previously been at odds with the Leicester fanbase this season, many of whom have been left dissatisfied by the head coach's possession-heavy style of play, even though the club remain in pole position to be promoted.
