Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Leicester City will play host to a red-hot Manchester City outfit at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon with the home side looking to continue their revival in the Premier League.
Following a disappointing run of just one league win from their first eight league matches of the season, former manager Craig Shakespeare was dismissed, and although caretaker-manager Matty Appleton secured a 2-1 win away at Swansea City, The Foxes turned to former Southampton boss, Claude Puel to take over the reigns.
Puel started with a 2-0 home win over Everton and a point away at Stoke City in a 2-2 draw, but they’ll face their biggest test yet this season on home turf when a free-scoring Manchester City come to town. Leicester hold a so-so home record of 2-1-2 8/6 to date, but have lost both of their matches against top five opposition so far, with defeats to Chelsea and Liverpool.
Onto Manchester City, and Pep Guardiola’s side have been in excellent form so far this season as they sit top of the Premier League by a margin of eight points ahead of their cross-town rivals, Manchester United who sit in second place ahead of this weekend.
The Citizens have swept aside almost all who have challenged them so far this term, aside from Everton who took a point off them at the Etihad Stadium in a 1-1 draw, but they’ve since embarked upon an excellent run of form, winning nine on the trot which has helped them to the top of the table.
In particular, Manchester City’s results away from home have caught the eye, where they possess a strong record of 5-0-0 14/3 which includes three clean sheets.
I can see only one winner here today.
