Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson sees only one winner, with Leicester’s quality set to overwhelm Burton at the King Power.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Leicester City to win | 4/9 | Leicester drew 1-1 at Notts County but, with a squad still packed with quality after dropping down the leagues, they are in a different class here. Burton drew their opener and face a daunting afternoon. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 4/6 | Leicester will dominate possession and chances at home, and should have far too much for Burton. Once the hosts get going, the goals should follow. |

How Leicester City go into the game
Leicester opened with a 1-1 draw at Notts County, a slightly frustrating start against determined opponents. The King Power Stadium should provide the platform for a first win of the campaign.
By some distance the biggest club in the division, Leicester have the players to blow teams away. Home advantage against modest opposition makes them nailed-on favourites.
How Burton Albion go into the game
Burton opened with a 1-1 home draw against Stevenage, a decent point to begin the season. They travel to the King Power as rank outsiders with little to lose.
The Brewers will set up to frustrate and defend in numbers. Keeping the score respectable against a rampant Leicester may be the realistic aim.
