Layers split on when Foxes can start to party
TOTTENHAM’S 1-1 draw at home to West Brom on Monday has left Leicester needing just one victory to clinch the Premier League title and the Foxes are 29-10 to seal the deal on Sunday by defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Should Leicester fall short at the Theatre of Dreams, the focus would switch back to Tottenham, who would need to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday to keep the race going.
Betway are betting on when the title will be out of Spurs’ reach and are not expecting a quick conclusion.
They think next weekend will be the decisive period and offer 7-4 that Leicester win the league at home to Everton on May 7 and 13-8 that they triumph as a consequence of Spurs failing to win at home to Southampton on May 8.
Coral disagree and go 4-7 that Leicester win the league on either Sunday or Monday, 2-1 that they triumph next weekend and 12-1 that it happens on the last day of the season.
Leicester’s title odds have shrunk from 1-6 to 1-20 and bet365 are focusing on how they will cope with a title defence.
They offer 25-1 that Leicester win the league next term and are 50-1 for them to be relegated.
Claudio Ranieri’s men are 2-7 for a top-half finish and 5-2 to be outside the top ten.
Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli could miss the last three games of the season after being charged with violent conduct by the FA.
Television footage appeared to show Alli punching West Brom’s Claudio Yacob during Monday’s fixture at White Hart Lane.
