Three ways to back your team: Leicester City

Big season ahead for Vardy

If Leicester are going to do anything this year, Jamie Vardy will have to put in another big shift. The most notable improvement brought about by Shakespeare’s appointment was the upturn in form of the England striker – bagging goals for Leicester in the Premier League and Champions League, as well as hitting the net for his country. He’s a proven scorer, and we’re surprised a bigger club haven’t come in for him during the transfer window. Will he shine again during the 2017/18 campaign? We’re giving 33/1 on him being the league’s top scorer, with each-way terms of 1/4 the odds four places. Leicester spent the summer chasing Man City attacker Kelechi Iheanacho, and the young Nigerian teaming up with Vardy would certainly get results.

Foxes to finally win the FA Cup

Leicester have their own little piece of FA Cup history, but it’s not an achievement they can be proud of – rating as the side who have played in most finals without every lifting the title. The Foxes have reached the decider four times in the past, three of those coming in the 60s. The last time they reached the final was in 1969, will this finally be the year they get over the line and etch their name on the silver? Well, nothing would surprise us with this team, and our football guys make them a lot more likely to win the FA Cup than the Premier League. Get 200/1 on The Foxes taking the English top-flight, or 33/1 the nation’s favourite cup competition. We wouldn’t put you off either.
