Back this 15/2 Leicester City vs Manchester City single

Both of these sides are enduring dismal runs of form, but will it be Leicester City or Manchester City who leave the King Power with a smile on their face on Sunday afternoon?

Odds Now's Brad Walker has honed in on the fixture to pick out the best value from a punting perspective. 

Odds Now's Leicester City vs Manchester City selection

Neither of these have been impressive lately. 

Leicester head into this one having failed to win any of their last four matches, a run which has also seen them lose their last three matches on the spin. 

The latest came in a 3-1 defeat away to Liverpool on Boxing Day, meaning the Foxes now find themselves in the relegation zone following Wolves' victory earlier in the day.

Having said that, Ruud van Nistelrooy's men could bizarrely be catching champions Manchester City at the perfect time.

Pep Guardiola's side have picked up just a single win in their last 13 in all competitions and are without a victory in any of their last five.

City look helpless at the back, sapped of energy in midfield and toothless in the final third, evidenced in their recent 1-1 draw with Everton earlier this week. 

The stunning run has left them in seventh position, an almighty 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool and five adrift of a spot in the top four after 18 matches played.

Leicester's recent record against the Citizens hasn't exactly been convincing. 

The Foxes have lost each of their last five against City in the Premier League, having failed to score in four of those outings. 

However, they did take four points from their first two home matches following Van Nistelrooy's appointment in the King Power dugout. 

And while the 3-0 home defeat to Wolves last weekend was worrying, Leicester showed some promise during the early stages at Anfield before eventually coming up short.

They also face a City side who have no idea where their next victory is coming from. 

Erling Haaland's missed penalty against Everton summed up their recent performances and so getting Leicester at a HUGE 15/2 is far too big a price to turn down for me. 

Of course, the away side have more than enough quality in their ranks to pick up a first win in five, but given their recent predicament, getting such wide odds against a team who have just one win since the end of October holds plenty of value. 

Ultimately, 15/2 is more than juicy enough for me to take a punt on a Leicester win to continue City's miserable end to the year.
