Defensive Stalwarts Return

Huth returns for Leicester and Koscielny looks likely to for Arsenal. That should dramatically change goal expectations at the King Power Stadium.

The ‘Both Teams To Score’ market is a good one in which to go against the grain if the odds are stacked in one direction.

That’s the case at the King Power Stadium today where the bookies go as long as 6/4 (Skybet) that both sides don’t find the net.

You can see where they’re coming from after last weekend’s results but it perhaps ignores that big defenders return to action today.

For Leicester, Robert Huth returns after suspension and he made a huge difference during the successful title run-in earlier in the year. The Foxes kept 12 clean sheets in the final 18 league matches in which the German played.

Meanwhile Arsene Wenger looks forced to recall Laurent Koscielny after the debacle against Liverpool, and he can make a huge defensive difference for the visitors.

Both teams scored in just 42% of Arsenal league fixtures last season.

If either of these big players returns on form then we’re likely to bag a winner at a reasonable price.
