Leicester Set Their Sights On An Instant Return

League One returns to action this weekend, and betting sites already have a clear picture of how this year's promotion race is shaping up. 

Leicester head into the campaign as favourites to secure an immediate return to the Championship, priced at 9/4 with bet365, reflecting the significant gap in resources and squad quality many expect them to hold over much of the division.

Behind Leicester, Sheffield Wednesday are priced at 6/1, with Luton following at 7/1, both sides having experienced significant upheaval in recent seasons and now looking to rebuild through the third tier. Plymouth sit at 11/1, while Huddersfield are priced at 14/1.

Milton Keynes Dons follow at 16/1, with Bradford, Stockport and Wycombe rounding out the leading contenders at 20/1.
