Leicester vs Leeds screams goals as there have been over 2.5 goals in 11 of Leeds’ last 12 league games, while 67% of Leicester's league games have featured over 2.5 goals.
All this points to a goal fest at the King Power Stadium, said oddschecker expert Tom Love, who likened the coaching ethos of new recruit Jesse Marsch to his predecessor Marcelo Bielsa.

"American coach Jesse Marsch comes in as the direct replacement for Bielsa and he is similar in some ways with his former clubs in Salzburg and Leipzig looking to play high energy and pressing football. It shows that the Leeds hierarchy are keen to keep a similar ethos and it will be very interesting to see if Marsch has a positive impact and ultimately keep the Whites in the top flight.
"It's hard to see Leeds altering their approach so quickly anyhow, that means their match with Leicester this weekend could be a thrilling one with plenty of goals. This match actually pits together the two teams who have seen the highest goals per game average in the league with both sides’ respective games averaging a whopping 3.42 goals per game.
"It’s little surprise to see over 2.5 goals trading around the 4/7 mark then, in the Premier League you’re usually looking at around 4/5 or bigger on matches between two sides that don’t feature in the top six. We can chuck both teams to score alongside over 2.5 goals and get an even more backable 4/5 quote which makes plenty of appeal when you look at how goal heavy both sides have been of late as well as their faltering defensive efforts.”
Leicester talisman Jamie Vardy - the league’s highest goal-getter behind Liverpool trio Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane - could return to the Leicester XI after scoring just 10 minutes into his comeback from injury at Turf Moor on Tuesday. He’s a best price of 49/50 to score anytime.
