Premier League: Foxes, Blades Battle for Champions League

With just a handful of games left to go in the 2019-20 English Premiership, the last three qualifying spots for next year’s Champions League are very much on the line. https://www.casinobillionaire.com/bovada-review-5239.php

Thursday’s match (1 PM ET) at King Power Stadium between Leicester City and Sheffield United will be pivotal.

The Foxes are even-money favorites at press time, with the Blades checking in at +310; the draw is priced at +235.

Leicester City (17 wins, 10 losses, 8 draws) finished the weekend in fourth place on the EPL table, one point ahead of Manchester United, but with the Red Devils yet to play on Monday.

Sheffield United (14 wins, 9 losses, 12 draws) are five points behind the Foxes after stunning Chelsea 3-0 on Saturday, leaving the Blues just one point up on Leicester for third place.

Fifth won’t be enough for the Champions League this year, now that Manchester City’s two-year ban has been overturned, but the Blades can still sneak in if they continue their current form.

They certainly can’t afford a repeat of their Jekyll-and-Hyde performance when Leicester City visited Bramall Lane way back in August; the Foxes dominated early and won 2-1 on a brilliant 70th-minute strike by Harvey Barnes.

Premier League Odds: Sheffield United Take UCL Dreams to Leicester

After upsetting Chelsea 3-0 on Saturday, Sheffield United have a serious chance of qualifying for the Champions League – especially if they pull another rabbit out of their hat against Leicester City this Thursday (1 PM ET).

The Blades are +310 road dogs at press time; the Foxes are even-money favorites, with the draw available at +235. Saturday’s big win at Bramall Lane left SUFC in seventh place on the Premiership table, five points behind fourth-place Leicester – but with Manchester United in fifth and owning a game in hand. The Foxes are coming off Sunday’s disappointing 4-1 road loss to AFC Bournemouth.
