Is This the Worst Premier League Title Race in Years?
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes his side face a tough task to break Manchester United down when the two sides meet on Saturday.
This gives them a massive advantage over the East Midlands club, but Leicester haven’t been fazed yet by the top flight and have accumulated the most Premier League points since the start of April.
Vardy finished with 16 league goals as the Foxes were promoted to the Premier League as Champions.
The second bet is for the match to have 2.5 goals which is 21/20 with Bet Victor. Leicester were bottom of the log after 13 games last season, and to everyone’s surprise are now involved in a clash against Man United for top spot.
Leicester City is on a four-game winning streak and a six-game unbeaten run to seize league leadership from Manchester City last week.
“In the second half, we had some chances but it’s true that they did good pressing and we couldn’t play the ball and control the game”.
And Ranieri is hoping that Vardy can become the first player in Premier League history to score in 11 successive games.
But a victory at Leicester, who have lost just once at home this season, would ease some of the tension by taking United above Claudio Ranieri’s side to the top of the league.
Seven goals in 708 minutes of football means that Giroud finds the net every 101.1 minutes of Premier League football, on average.
“We’re top of the table and in this moment I think we deserve it, but this is another match to understand where we can improve”.
Arsenal boss Wenger had said league leaders Leicester “cannot be ruled out” as contenders but Ranieri says survival is the immediate aim. The first season saw him as a distributor, setting up his teammates and helping Leicester climb out of relegation by going on an incredible run during the last quarter of the Premier League season.
The teams have gone about their title charge in different ways: the Foxes have scored the most goals in the league (28), while the Red Devils have conceded the fewest (nine). While Manchester United need offensive support as Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial are the closest they have to a “true striker”. If he can keep scoring regular goals for the rest of the season then it will surely earn him a place in the England team in France next summer.
It could be another very comfortable away win for Bournemouth’s visitors as the Toffees look set to pick up three more points to finish an outstanding November. Setting managers back just 8.4m, the little magician has some promising fixtures coming up by the time we’ll have reached New Years Eve, with games against Swansea (H), Newcastle (A), West Brom (H), Watford (A), Leicester (H) and Sunderland (A).
