There is a repeat of this season’s Community Shield as Leicester host Manchester City at the King Power Stadium this Saturday at 3p.m. Both sides have started the season in decent form, but they have dropped points to their Premier League rivals already. The sides will want to get back on track after the international break with a win this weekend. We have all the latest team news, tips, and best odds for the headline fixture on Saturday.

Team News/Form

Leicester beat Norwich 2-1 last time out, recovering from a recent 4-1 loss to West Ham. The Foxes also beat Wolves 1-0 at home in their first match of the season. Man City recorded big consecutive wins against Norwich and Arsenal 5-0 in recent weeks, beating both sides 5-0. The results marked improvement since the Citizen’s opening day 1-0 defeat at Tottenham.

City are backed at 29/50 by Novibet to defeat the Foxes. Leicester are outsiders, with SBK providing the best odds at 28/5. However, there is value in backing the home side this weekend. They have beaten City twice in their last three meetings, including a 1-0 victory in the Community Shield in August. To get the best value this weekend, a draw is the best option. City have failed to win in three of their last five visits to the King Power, and Leicester are in good home form, winning six of their last eight.

Under/Over Goals

Plenty of goals have been scored in recent meetings between these sides, with 0-0 stalemates a rarity. In the under/over goals market, there is value on backing either under 2.5 goals or over 2.5 goals between Leicester and Man City. So far this season, Leicester and City have seen over 2.5 goals in two of their three matches. To back more goals this weekend, MansionBet will provide the best odds at 4/5. Our tip this weekend is to go for a lower scoreline. In recent meetings between these sides, four of the last six matches have ended in under 2.5 goals. The last two matches at the King Power have also produced under 2.5 goals. Betfred will return odds of 6/5 for another low scorer on Saturday.

Anytime Goalscorer Betting

Leicester and Man City have plenty of quality in their ranks, and it could just take a single moment of brilliance to separate these sides. Man City have plenty of goalscorers across the pitch, with several players already finding the net. Fernan Torres has played a central role as a false nine in recent weeks, and the Spaniard has two goals in his first three matches. He is backed at 9/5 by Unibet to score again against Leicester. However, our tip is to back Leicester veteran Jamie Vardy. Vardy was in top form against Norwich before the international break, putting in a man of the match performance and getting on the scoresheet. He already has two goals this season and is backed at 29/10 by Unibet to find the net again this weekend.

Leicester and City will want to lay down an early maker as top of the table contenders. This fixture is a great chance for either side to win points early in the season and throw a warning to their rivals.
