Game of the Month - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach EPL Rotation #200106 Sunday 10* Top Play Manchester City -1.5 goals -110 vs Leicester @ 11:30 AM ET - Manchester City has some injury concerns heading into this game but so too does Leicester. On the money line Manchester City is a huge favorite but we can lay the -1.5 goals to have much better value here and I do expect them to win this one in blowout. Insuring the proper focus is the fact that Leicester brings a perfect 2-0 mark into this fixture. However, Leicester's first two matches were against a pair of clubs that just got promoted to the Premier League this season. Now they go all the way to the "top of the class" per se and face a Manchester City team that is projected by most to win the league this season. Not only that, this is on their home pitch. Manchester City has played only 1 match so far this season and they won 3-1 at Wolverhampton against a respectable team. That was an impressive win. Now in their home opener I look for a win by at least that margin again. Keep in mind Leicester won just 7 of their 19 away fixtures last season. Conversely, Manchester City (even though they had a bit of a disappointing overall campaign compared to expectations) dominated on their home pitch. Not only did Manchester City have a record of 15-2-2, they had a positive goal differential of +44. The fact is a win by a 3 goal margin here would indeed not surprise me in the least and I am definitely expecting a victory by 2 or more goals. Lay it! 10* MANCHESTER CITY -1.5 goals -110
