The 2023-24 Championship season unfolded an electrifying contest for Premier League promotion, with Leicester City and Ipswich Town emerging triumphant, securing the top two spots for automatic promotion. As the curtain falls on an eventful campaign, let’s delve into the contenders for promotion and their prospects in the upcoming Premier League season.
Leicester City, steered by manager Enzo Maresca, clinched the Championship title with an impressive 97 points and a formidable goal difference of +48. Despite grappling with challenges throughout the season, including a late-season stumble, Leicester’s possession-oriented approach and the pivotal contributions from goal scorers like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Stephy Mavididi, and Jamie Vardy propelled them back to the Premier League after just one season in the Championship.
Ipswich Town, led by Kieran McKenna, secured the second promotion spot with 96 points and a goal difference of +35. Their journey back to the Premier League, following a prolonged absence, was marked by resilience and determination, overcoming periods of uncertainty to finish strongly and secure promotion. Ipswich’s feat is particularly noteworthy considering their promotion from League One just a year prior.
