Free Predictions and Odds for Leicester vs Leeds
Even a win won take Leicester above Leeds in the Premier League table but it would reduce the gap between the two clubs to just 1pt. Leeds like to press high and force their opponents into mistakes but they are yet to perfect this technique and often end up tiring themselves out which is when Leicester will be looking to take advantage.

Both Teams to Score
There is a good chance that we will see goals going in at both ends of the pitch on Thursday night as that has been the case in four of the last five meetings between Leicester and Leeds in all competitions. Both teams have also scored in three of the host's and three of the visitor's last five league games, adding further weight to our prediction.
Over 2.5 Goals
Three of the last five encounters between Leicester and Leeds have witnessed at least four goals being scored and we're only backing over 2.5 goals to be registered at The King Power Stadium on Thursday. Four of Leicester's last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals, including the 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest and the 6-2 and 5-2 defeats to Tottenham and Brighton respectively. Two of Leeds' last four league games have also produced over 2.5 goals, including the 5-2 defeat at Brentford last month.

Can Leicester get their season back on track with a win?
Leicester played host to Crystal Palace last time out where the two sides played out a goalless draw that won't live long in the memory. The most disappointing aspect of the match for Leicester, other than failing to win the game, was the yellow card that James Maddison picked up deep into stoppage-time which means that the Foxes' top scorer will miss the game against Leeds on Thursday.
Leicester Predicted Lineup: Ward, Amartey, Castagne, Faes, Justin, Tielemans, Vardy, Soumaré, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes & Daka
Leeds would have been expecting a very tough 90-minutes at home to Arsenal but will come away from the match disappointed not to have picked up at least a point to show for their efforts. A solitary strike from Saka in the first half proved enough for the league leaders to win the game but Leeds came close on serval occasions. Bamford had a goal disallowed for handball and then went on to miss a penalty, while late in the game Arsenal looked have given away another spot kick and had a man sent-off only for VAR to aid the referee in reversing both decisions.
Leeds Predicted Lineup: Meslier, Cooper, Koch, Kristensen, Struijk, Roca, Adams, Harrison, Aaronson, Rodrigo & Sinisterra
Team News
Leicester: Ricardo Pereira, Wilfred Ndidi, Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand could miss out through injury, while James Maddison is suspended.
Leeds: Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Leo Fuhr Hjelde and Archie Gray are all injury concerns.
