Leicester City Betting Preview
Leicester City currently sits in 14th place in the standings having picked up 18 points. Leicester City has had nothing but a big disappointment this season, but they are coming off an FA Cup victory in the last game. Against Walsall last Saturday, Leicester City scored one goal and that was enough to secure the victory. Leicester City had 75 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Tete and Harry Souttar have just joined the club and both guys could move into the starting lineup in this game. Souttar is dealing with a minor hip injury, but he’s expected to be fine. Leicester City is dealing with a ton of injury issues and they will be without James Justin, Jonny Evans, Ryan Bertrand, and Boubakary Soumare because of injuries. Wilfried Ndidi is also expected to be away from the team because of personal reasons. Jamie Vardy could return from a glute concern.
Shane’s Free Pick
Leicester City’s defense finally had some success in the last game, but this team is a whole lot different than Walsall. Aston Villa is going to score two or three goals here, and with all the Leicester City injuries, they just don’t have enough offense to keep this game close. Back Aston Villa on the money line.
