Leicester City have had an impressive start to the Championship campaign this season and many expect them to secure promotion back to the Premier League at the end of the season.

The Foxes have won 13 of their first 15 league fixtures this season, but they have recently crashed to a narrow defeat against Leeds United.

EFL pundit David Prutton claims that Leicester are not guaranteed to secure promotion just yet despite their impressive start.

It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back with a strong performance when they take on Middlesbrough at the weekend.

Prutton believes that there is a long way to go in the Championship and the Foxes will have to sustain their form if they want to return to the top flight.

He said: “A lot of the chatter about the game is that it was a plucky Leeds performance. Leeds fell out of the Premier League at the same time as Leicester City and their ambitions are exactly the same – to get back there as soon as possible.

“I think Leicester have been the standout performers this season but Leeds showed a way to beat them. Leicester have now lost two games, while Leeds have lost three, so it’s those fine margins of draws for Leeds that has created this gap, but there’s plenty of time.”

Former Leeds United star David Prutton is backing a deal for Bayern Munich star Marc Roca.

The Whites will be desperate to improve this summer after scraping Premier League survival on the vert last day.

Jesse Marsch will want to put his own stamp on this squad, and he may also need to prepare for key exits.

The likes of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha are being heavily linked with moves away from the club, and that could leave Leeds with almighty big boots to fill.

As far as the midfield goes, whether Phillips leave or not, they appear to have a plan, with out of favour Bayern star Roca being linked with an Elland Road switch.

According to various reports, Leeds are one of the teams trying to pull off a deal for Roca, who played a bit-part role at the Allianz Arena this season.

And speaking about the potential deal to the Yorkshire Evening Post, former Whites midfielder Prutton says he is firmly in favour of the deal.

“If, as suggested, Leeds can get him for around £10m then that sounds pretty decent in today’s footballing terms,” he said. “Obviously, if he signs then the proof will be in the pudding.

“That is, as to whether he is any good or not but that experience of being at a club the size of Bayern would stand him in good stead to play for a club like Leeds. They are tooling up at the right time.”
