2-9 Foxes move a step closer towards title
LEICESTER are five points away from causing the biggest upset in sports betting history after the Premier League leaders recorded a thumping 4-0 success over Swansea at the King Power Stadium.
Claudio Ranieri’s side, 5,000-1 ante-post, are now 2-9 as they made short work of Jamie Vardy’s suspension to move eight points clear of Tottenham.
Riyad Mahrez took advantage of Ashley Williams’ mistake to put the Foxes in front before Leonardo Ulloa, Vardy’s replacement, scored twice and substitute Marc Albrighton added a fourth late on.
Leicester have a tricky run-in with a home date against Everton sandwiched between away trips to Manchester United and Chelsea, but Spurs are probably going to have to win at Stamford Bridge themselves if the 4-1 shots are to upset the odds and win the title.
Bet365’s favourite in Leicester’s winning margin market is six points or more at 7-2.
Sunderland boosted their survival hopes with a 0-0 draw against Arsenal in a result that moved them outside of the bottom three on goal difference and out to evens to be relegated, while the fourth-placed Gunners are 1-8 to finish in the top four.
Crystal Palace are 12-5 to win the FA Cup after setting up a repeat of the 1990 final against Manchester United following a 2-1 win over Watford in their semi-final at Wembley.
Troy Deeney cancelled out Yannick Bolasie’s opener before Connor Wickham headed Palace into the final.
United are 2-5 shots to lift the trophy - just like they did against the Eagles 26 years ago.
