Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Leicester @ 2.08 (Matchbook)
Tip Result:: Win

Leicester City's decision to sack Claudio Ranieri caused outrage initially, but you can't argue that the club hasn't gone from strength to strength since his departure. All of a sudden Leicester look like the 2015/16 version that won the Premier League last season. They've won their last three straight EPL games, scoring three goals in each of them, with Liverpool among those they defeated. Their 3-2 away win over West Ham suggests they have also re-found their away form which deserted them earlier this season.

The fact that Leicester are at home is another reason to back them. Even when you include Leicester City's poor start to this campaign, they have gone 10-4-4 over the last 12 months at home while Stoke City have gone 3-4-10 away from home and 1-4-10 away from when installed as the underdog. Also, Stoke City have failed to score in their last three straight away games.
