Leicester City vs Norwich City

, KO: 12:30 Apr 1, 2024, King Power Stadium
Norwich City

LEICESTER CITY entertain Norwich City in a heavyweight clash in the English Championship as we approach the real business end of the season.

In the busy Easter period, teams played on Good Friday and Easter Monday and traditionally, these games mean everything at this stage of the campaign.

But it was anything but a Good Friday for the hosts who suffered a hammer blow in their attempts to return to the Premier League they won eight years ago.

They were dislodged from the automatic promotion places after defeat at Bristol City with other teams around them picking up points and their fans turned on them at full time after their fourth defeat in their last six league games.

It's the worst possible time to lose form, but that's exactly what appears to have happened to the Foxes.

But the Canaries were singing after a comeback win at home to Plymouth Argyle made it four wins out of five and three in a row.

They've also scored ten goals in their last three games too and have a four point cushion at the play-off spots and are closing in on West Brom in fifth, who are just three points ahead of them.

It's a good time to build momentum and it could be a spicy game at the King Power.

How the bookies view it

Leicester City are odds-on here across the board and you can get some 7/10 with bet365.

Norwich City can be backed at 4/1 with Paddy Power and the draw is 3/1 with UniBet.

Recent head to heads

Leicester City eased to a 2-0 win at Carrow Road in September and in fact the Foxes have won the last three meetings between the clubs.

Norwich haven't won at Leicester for 13 years.

Players to watch

Jamie Vardy missed Leicester's FA Cup defeat at Chelsea with a ‘slight injury' but returned at Ashton Gate and even at the age of 37, he remains a deadly striker and is their top scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions. He is 8/5 to score anytime with bet365.

Josh Sargent has now scored nine goals in his last ten games for Norwich including three in a row and the American-born striker is a value 10/3 to score anytime with bet365.

Anything else catch the eye?

All doesn't seem right at Leicester here and the atmosphere could turn toxic if Norwich get in about them and even score first here.

With current form, it's hard not to back the obvious conclusion here and go with momentum and invest in Norwich with the draw on our side too at odds-against at 5/4 with Coral.

Norwich have plenty of goals in them too but have been written off here. Back the visitors to score before the 67th minute at 5/6 with bet365 against a leaky defence.
