A Look At Leicester City’s Betting Odds
Leicester remain eight points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United despite being denied a huge win by a stoppage-time Watford equaliser.
The Foxes thought they had made a winning return when Ben Chilwell fired in a stunning strike in the 90th minute.
But struggling Watford went up the other end and Craig Dawson acrobatically turned home his first goal for the Hornets to secure a 1-1 draw.
Midfielder James Maddison told the club website: “I’m so disappointed we missed out on two points. We’re so hungry to do well and secure that Champions League space. So, (it is) kind of two points dropped, I feel.

Brighton secured their first win of the calendar year as Graham Potter’s side battle against the drop.
Captain Lewis Dunk started the comeback with a close-range leveller and the England international felt the forced postponement of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic has given Brighton a chance to re-evaluate.
Dunk told the club’s official website: “It’s a huge win for us.
“Our first this year, so they have been hard to come by but we worked hard during the last few weeks.
“To come from behind to get the three points was a great feeling for everyone. We pressed the reset button and it’s worked.”

Last Brighton line-up: Ryan, Dunk, Webster, Schelotto, Burn, Bissouma, Mooy, Gross, Propper, Maupay, Trossard.
