S.P.Read Esq: Leicester v Man U

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League game on Saturday between LEICESTER v MAN U and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Leicester just keep quietly getting on with their business but despite LEADING the Premier League by a point are still dismissed as genuine title contenders.

Things could change after this top of the table clash which will see the winners go top but Leicester would open up a gap at the top if securing all three points. It certainly has plenty of Saturday night X Factor and I’m probably looking forward to this more than any other Premier League game this season.

Certainly, the corresponding fixture last season was an absolute belter. Leicester coming from 2-0 down to stun Man U 5-3.

There’s further drama added to the match with all eyes on Jamie Vardy who has now equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of scoring in ten consecutive Premier League games and he gets the chance to break the record tonight.

Matty James misses the match for the hosts because of his long term knee injury.

For Man U, Phil Jones and Ander Herrera remain sidelined and will miss the match along with Michael Carrick, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia.

As their league positions illustrate, both teams arrive here in cracking form and I think this is one X Factor that will end up dead-locked tonight.

But I think there will be goals too. Leicester have scored in ALL (home and away) games this season so the chance to sell the time of their first goal tonight, with home advantage, at 55 minutes with Star Spreads makes plenty of appeal.
