A currently struggling Leicester City will face the playoff hungry Norwich City on Monday at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes were penalised in the last round for poor execution against Bristol City, while the Canaries claimed a hard-fought victory over Plymouth Argyle.
The hosts, despite losing their automatic promotion spot at the moment, do have a game in hand and things could still change. Callum Doyle will not be able to aid his team in this game due to a suspension.
Norwich's away game statistics leave much to be desired, and the last three meetings in Leicester have ended in losses. Shane Duffey returned to the bench in the game against Plymouth and may start this match.
Despite all the hosts' problems, they are still the favourites in this match. With the head-to-head history in their favour, and Norwich's poor away results, it makes sense to go against the bookies and take the individual total 2 over (1,5). Leicester is feverish, and their slump can very well continue.
At some point, Leicester's execution has to improve, and created chances should translate into goals. The visitors shouldn't stay behind, providing us with an entertaining and high-scoring match. The total over 2.5 here is bound to please all fans.
