Leeds vs Leicester, Monday 8pm (Sky Sports Main Event)
The promotion bounce just keeps on coming for Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa.
It was another superb night for the Premier League newboys as they demolished previously unbeaten Aston Villa 3-0 on the road, cementing a place in the top six in the process.
While they’re unlikely to be scaling those dizzying heights all season, their incredible work ethic and tireless running has been a breath of fresh air this season.
Stats showed that as a team combined, Leeds ran more than NINE kilometres further than their Villa counterparts that night. Hard work pays off.
Leicester meanwhile are back in the groove following an excellent 1-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates.
That ended a long, barren spell for the Foxes in North London and this behind-closed-doors start to the season seems to have lessened the impact of home advantage.
Jamie Vardy returned from injury to net the winner off the bench and he will relish trying to get in behind this Leeds backline.
The Whites are great fun to watch and regardless of the opposition, Bielsa is going for three points.
Vardy is the PL’s most-lethal finisher against Big Six opponents
Promoted sides usually get a wake-up call following a strong start and we reckon the Foxes will be confident of getting something under the lights at Elland Road.
They’ve won all three of their away matches to start the new campaign, with a goal difference of 7+.
You can get 4/9 on Leicester double chance and that’s a cracking price to top up your weekend accas.
For those of you looking for something more substantial though, the Foxes to win but with both teams to score in a far more attractive 17/5.
We do reckon Leeds find the net, despite drawing a blank last time they were here against Wolves.
Patrick Bamford is their man of the moment and the much-derided striker is flourishing after being backed to the hilt by his boss.
He sits above Mo Salah and Harry Kane in the Premier League Golden Boot race and in current form should be close to odds-on to net anytime.
Instead Leeds’ No9 is priced at 7/4 to score anytime and that’s a belter.
