There is a lone English Premier League match taking place on Monday night and we look at the clash between Leicester and Liverpool from a betting angle.

Manchester City have shortened to 1/250 favourites to win the English Premier League title after this weekend with Arsenal now 70/1 long shots. There are a number of other markets still to be decided including to be relegated and to finish 4^th.

LEICESTER

Leicester are currently 19^th on the log and are looking like serious candidates for relegation but victory here would move them up to 17^th and keep their destiny in their own hands. Leicester’s last match was a 5-3 away defeat at Fulham, their 5^th successive match that both teams have found the back of the net and 4 of those 5 games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers. Leicester have only won 4 out of 17 matches at home this season, but they are unbeaten in their last 2 home games, a win with Everton and beating Wolves.

LIVERPOOL

Liverpool are 5^th on the log, 4 points behind Manchester United in 4^th place with both sides having 3 games left to play. They will be looking to keep the pressure on Manchester United with their 7^th successive victory in the League. Last time out they beat Brentford 1-0 at home. On the road this season Liverpool have won 5 times in 17 attempts, but 2 of those victories have come in their last 2 away games at West Ham and Leeds.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Liverpool beat Leicester 2-1 at home in the reverse fixture, but last season Leicester won this fixture 1-0 and they have won their last 2 home matches against Liverpool.

Leicester 9/2

Draw 15/4

Liverpool 4/7

There is nothing in Leicester’s recent form to suggest they are going to beat Liverpool, but I can’t help to feel they present some value. Yes, Liverpool are chasing 4^th place, but deep down they know that it is probably going to elude them and they face a desperate Leicester side that simply has to get the 3 points.

There is one thing that has dogged Liverpool this season and that is inconsistency and I think that Leicester can take advantage and grab all 3 points.

SUGGESTED BET: Leicester win at 9/2

For the more conservative the Leicester handicap at +0.5 goals is 15/10 meaning you get a return if they just avoid being beaten.

If you are a punter who enjoys the goals markets, over 2.5 goals is trading short at 9/20, but you can get 11/10 for over 3.5 goals and I do think we are going to get goals in this game.

If you are looking for a really big price how about the 3-2 Leicester win at 40/1 and if you want to bet on the First Goal Scorer Market, Jamie Vardy is trading at 17/2 to open the scoring.
