STAT ATTACK: Leicester v Man City…

Sunday 2.30pm - Sky Sports

• The First Goal has been scored before the 26th minute in 6 of Leicester’s last 8 games

• The First Goal has been scored before the 27th minute in 11 of Man City’s last 12 Premier League games

• Man City (89% of games) and Leicester (72%) are the Top 2 teams in the Premier League this season for Time of First Goal: 27th Minute or Before payouts 

The respective Home and Away stats on our website make a strong case for an early goal in Sunday’s game, too. With both teams’ matches averaging sub-20 minutes for the Time of First Goal…

Different bookies have different options for Time of First Goal bets…

For example, for Leicester v Man City, Bet365 go 5/6 (1.83) for a ‘Goal Before 22:00 Mins’. While William Hill offer 4/9 (1.44) for ‘Up To And Including 30th Minute’...

With both of those firms also offering Time of First Goal Brackets, such as ‘1-10 Mins’ at 11/4 (3.75) with Bet365, ‘11-20 Mins’ at 10/3 (4.33), and so on.

For every round of Premier League games, we build an accumulator from the matching selections in our Predictor grid, across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

Here’s this weekend’s acca. These picks all match-up across the predictions from myself, my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun, and Chris Sutton on the BBC:

Leicester City v Man City – Man City to win
Crystal Palace v Southampton – Under 2.5 Goals
Everton v Nott’m Forest – Under 2.5 Goals
Fulham v Bournemouth – Over 2.5 Goals
Tottenham v Wolves – Over 2.5 Goals
West Ham v Liverpool – Liverpool to win
Aston Villa v Brighton – Both Teams to Score
Ipswich v Chelsea – Chelsea to win

• The 10-fold acca pays 122/1 with William Hill
