Leeds United's automatic promotion rivals Leicester City confirmed their return to the top flight on Friday evening as the Whites were beaten comfortably by Queens Park Rangers in their penultimate game of the season.
The Foxes' promotion was rubber-stamped in West London on Friday night as QPR set about dismantling Daniel Farke's side, inflicting the Whites' heaviest defeat under the German manager.
United's failure to take anything from their game with QPR meant that Leicester, while not yet champions, are guaranteed to finish in the top two. At full-time on Friday, Leicester's official X account tweeted 'I predict a riot', which is a nod to the anthem frequently played following victories at Elland Road. The song blared from the speaker system in LS11 earlier this season when Leeds turned a one-goal deficit into a 3-1 victory over the Foxes, cutting their lead at the top.
