The Leicester City
bandwagon rumbles on, slowly, but unmistakably, inching its way
towards the Premier League title. The Foxes play early on Sunday so
could, if they beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, have the
luxury of a 10-point lead at the top of the table by the time
Tottenham Hotspur kick-off against Manchester United at White Hart
Lane later in the day.
Sunderland’s main
problem has been their inability to keep a clean sheet. The 0-0 draw
against West Bromwich Albion at the Stadium of Light last Saturday
was the first time the Black Cats had failed to concede a goal in 17
Premier League outings and they had been pegged back from winning
positions against Newcastle, Southampton and Crystal Palace in their
three previous matches.
Leicester’s
centre-back pairing of Wes Morgan and Robert Huth looked as solid as
ever against Southampton at the King Power Stadium last Sunday, so
Black Cats’ leading marksman Jermain Defoe will have to make the
most of his chances, something he failed to do against the Baggies
last week. Defoe and striking partner Fabio Borini were slated by
Sunderland fans on social media for their wastefulness, which left
their side 18th in the table, four points from safety. The
Foxes seem to have found goals from a few unlikely sources lately so,
all things considered, let’s speculate on a 2-2 draw at 18/1 with
Bet 365.
Selection: Draw
2-2 (18/1 with Bet 365)
