Leicester City versus Norwich City, Saturday, February 27
Plenty of column inches have been devoted to Leicester City and Claudio Ranieri this season and rightly so. The erstwhile ‘Tinkerman’ and his side continue to defy expectations by hanging on to a lead, albeit narrow, at the top of the Premier League. The 2-1 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on St. Valentine’s Day may have temporarily halted their momentum, but they lost little caste in defeat, finally succumbing to an injury time goal after playing the last 36 minutes with ten men.
With Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham in action in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League in midweek, the Foxes have a chance to steal a march on their rivals and consolidate their position at the top of the Premier League by beating Norwich at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Norwich currently lie 17th in the Premium League, on the same points as 18th placed Newcastle, but with a marginally superior goal difference. Since a shock victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in December, the Canaries have lost all four away matches in the Premier League, conceding 11 goals and scoring just one.
A routine home win appears to be the most likely result, but 4/7 about the Foxes is unappealing so, granted the Canaries goal drought away from home, let’s try Leicester City to win 2-0 at 8/1 with BetVictor.
