Hold On To Your Fox Hat

There’s a compelling case to be made that Leicester City have been the third best team in the Premier League since Brendan Rodgers took over in late February. While Spurs, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea have flattered to deceive, the Foxes have emerged as a real force to be reckoned with.

After sacking Claude Puel, Leicester have gone on a run of 6 wins, 1 draw and just 2 defeats. The best performance of the lot game last time out in thumping Arsenal 3-0. There’s no way that side should be best odds of 20/1 with Skybet to win with both teams to score in this potential title decider.

The narrative of Brendan Rodgers having a telling say in Liverpool’s ultimate fate is pretty irresistible, but this is more than a romantic punt; the value in this outsider bet is undeniable.

Leicester have scored in 17 of their 18 away league games in 2018-19 and have only conceded more than one goal once in their last seven outings - a 2-2 draw at West Ham.

City have to feel some pressure now surely, and if they don’t take their chances this evening then Liverpool’s pressure could finally pay off, courtesy of the man who came so close to delivering them the title in 2014.
