Foxes looking for a flyer........


Leicester City manager Rob Kelly is determined to avoid the mistakes of last year. The Midlands side started very poorly and that dictated their season long problems.

The team looks much more balanced, has had a good pre season and look set to challenge for, at least, a playoff place.

Today they travel to Luton Town, scene of one of their better performances last season (2-1 win), the home team had a good first season in the Championship, but faded in the later stages. They conceded 35 goals in the second half of the season and that is relegation form.

Luton have lost their two star players in Steve Howard and Kevin Nicholls, the squad lacks depth and these losses may mean a season of struggle. They have signed Adam Boyd from Hartlepool for a large fee, he is a player I like a lot, but he suffered with injury last season and may take time to come to terms with the Championship.

Leicester come with a lot of confidence and have sold out their away supporters allocation. Think they will make a winning start to the season and expect to see these two at opposite ends of the table come May.

On the level ball asian handicap they look a solid wager.

3 points Leicester City level ball asian line 2.12

Good Luck.
