Premier League
3pm Saturday

Leicester keep churning out wins in the Champions League but their Premier position is a big concern and it could get worse after this game. A major impact on Leicester’s season has been the sale of N’Golo Kante. Their midfield has not been the same and will be even weaker with Danny Drinkwater suspended. Boro are facing the Foxes at the right time and can take at least a point.

Recommendation
Middlesbrough +0.5 on Asian handicap
1pt 41-40 bet365

Team news
Leicester Islam Slimani (groin) and Leonardo Ulloa (back) are available but Danny Drinkwater starts a three-game ban.

Middlesbrough Middlesbrough remain short of options at the back with George Friend (knee) and Daniel Ayala (ankle) out.

Key stat
Leicester have not kept a clean sheet in their last five league games
