Leicester City is poised to win the Championship title the following week, having already been automatically promoted to the Premier League. Furthermore, should the Foxes emerge victorious, they will maintain an eerie trend in the English second tier.
For the past three seasons, whoever has had the privilege of facing Huddersfield Town at their home ground in their opening fixture has gone on to clinch the Championship title and secure promotion to the Premier League [via Oliver Eaton].
The schedule is as follows: Burnley in 2022–2023; Fulham in 2022–2022. Norwich City in 2020–2021. As Leicester City approaches the end of the season, this run looks certain to continue for an incredible fourth time in a row. However, with Sheffield Wednesday’s convincing victory over West Brom and Huddersfield Town’s Saturday afternoon tie with Birmingham City, the team’s winning run will come to an end this season.
