Match of the Week Championship: Financial head-to-head Leicester City v Ipswich Town

Leicester v Ipswich

IMAGO

The Championship leaders, Leicester City and Ipswich Town, square off again this weekend only three weeks after their 1-1 draw at Portman road.

Leicester are coasting on their expected path to the Premier League, and Ipswich Town are contending for direct promotion against all odds.

The financials show a stark economic contrast between former Premier League and League One teams. Leicester's wage bill is 10 times larger than that of Ipswich, and the difference in turnover is even greater.

Despite Leicester's dip in squad value, just Kieran Dewsbury-Hall's €33 million valuation stands greater than Ipswich's entire squad.
