Leicester vs Leeds Preview

Thursday, October 20th, 20:15 (UK)

After Nottingham Forest’s point at Brighton on Tuesday, the pendulum of managerial pressure has seemingly swung back across the Midlands. Not only was it a point that took Steve Cooper’s men off the bottom but it has also made life difficult for Brendan Rodgers.

His Leicester side props up the division once more. Although the Foxes have picked up four points from the last nine on offer, the shoots of recovery are not growing fast enough.

However, victory on Thursday would change matters considerably. With Leeds having failed to win any of their last six league outings, Jesse Marsch’s men may provide the ideal opposition.

After a relatively bright start to the season, the Elland Road outfit are beginning to regress to the mean. They barely survived last season and the same struggles are beginning to unfold during this.

Although they were unfortunate not to get anything at home to Arsenal last Sunday, gallant defeats count for nothing in this division. two points from the last 18 on offer means they cannot afford a further slide down the league ladder.

This is why this Thursday night fixture seems so important. A title race is taking shape at the top and so is the battle to stay in the top tier.

Although Leicester’s draw with Crystal Palace was largely forgettable, it did at least display some defensive steel from the Foxes. With two clean sheets from their last three outings, they are beginning to turn the corner at the back.

With Wout Faes and Daniel Amartey currently being trusted as the centre-back partnership, they are set to start on Thursday. Although the injuries of both Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu may have forced Brendan Rodgers’ hand, it may work out for the better.

While Leicester also will also have to do without James Maddison on Thursday. He has been the one overriding positive for Leicester this season and the England hopeful’s absencel will be sorely felt.

However, I think the Foxes will be able to use Saturday’s dour draw as a platform and that is why I have backed the hosts to win on Thursday. But my bet builder is far from finished.

Because I also think this will be a third successive home clean sheet for the Foxes and that is why I have also opted for no on both teams not to score at the King Power. While if I add over four Leicester corners to the betting slip, things are getting rather tasty.

Just like the match. At least a card is often a sensible shout. It neatly wraps up my Thursday bet builder at odds of 11.00
