Leeds have beaten Ipswich twice this season, scoring eight goals, while Leicester have only drawn with the Tractor Boys, but Conor Chaplin believes Enzo Maresca’s men are the better side. Leicester City have an advantage over Leeds United as the top team in the Championship because they make opponents feel inferior, according to Ipswich Town’s Conor Chaplin. This season, City was unable to defeat the Tractor Boys, with both games finishing in 1-1 draws, with Ipswich scoring late. Meanwhile, Leeds have beaten Ipswich twice, first 4-3 in August and then 4-0 in December. Despite the results, offensive midfielder Chaplin believes City are the superior team because of how they make you feel during games. Leicester and Leeds face off at Elland Road on Friday night, with nine points separating them at the top of the division. Chaplin told Talksport: “It probably sounds foolish given we were hammered at Leeds and drew twice with Leicester, but I think Leicester [are superior] in terms of how they make you feel on the pitch. “Possession makes you feel inferior without the ball, therefore Leicester is probably the cause. But we’ve lost twice to Leeds, and we failed to put a glove on them in the second game. “They’re both really good teams, with really good players, but Leicester with their style of play make you feel very inferior.” Ipswich may be hoping City beats Leeds on Friday (8 p.m. kickoff). If they merely get a draw, the Tractor Boys can return to the top two with a victory over Birmingham on Saturday.
