Leicester City's latest betting odds for promotion from the Championship have been cut to 1/2 following their 2-0 away win over Norwich last night.
The Foxes, who were the bookmakers' favourites to win the Championship pre-season, have won six out of their seven league matches so far. Some bookmakers are now giving them an implied 66.7% chance (1/2 odds) of returning to the top flight at the first time of asking.

Who are the favourites to win the Championship?
As well as being promotion favourites, Enzo Maresca's Leicester are the favourites to win the Championship at a shortest price of 11/8 (best price 2/1 through oddschecker).
Maresca's side now occupy the second spot in the table, just a point behind the leaders Preston North End, who have also had a stellar start to their campaign.

In Leicester's next Championship match this weekend, they will host Bristol City. At the time of writing, they are priced at 3/4 (57.1% chance) to get the victory.
Oddschecker betting analyst Leon Blackman said: "A near perfect start to the Championship campaign for Enzo Maresca and Leicester as they notched up their sixth win from seven matches last night. The bookmakers' confidence in Leicester to be promoted hasn't been stronger and that sentiment is shared by punters.
“Since the Championship season began, Leicester have been the clear favourite with oddschecker bettors to win the Championship and have taken a significant 22% of bets in this market."
