Two of the champions league spots are still up for grab, with Chelsea and Manchester United in the driving seat to get them with Leicester City only a point behind. United know a draw will be good enough for them to qualify and while I hate tipping up a team who does not need to win, I think that is probably factored into United’s odds already and they are actually valued for this match. Leicester have looked very poor defensively of late but to be fair they are missing Chilwell, Ricardo and Soyuncu who has suspended for the remainder of the season after a red card away to Leicester City. Chilwell and Ricardo are huge losses, they both play in the attacking full-back roles and their loss has been really felt by Leicester City of late, as well as those 2 players the Foxes have also lost key creative midfielder in James Maddison to injury, those 3 players are probably worth about £160 million so any team would feel players of that quality missing. I would fear that at some stage Leicester may have to push and if they do, they could be in real trouble, Bennett, Morgan and Evans are a slow backline and the speedy United front players of Martial, Greenwood and Rashford could tear them to shreds if there is space in behind. I am betting United here yes, they don’t have to win but I make them clear value -0.25.
