Man City v Leicester

Liverpool's eight consecutive wins (and 16 Premier League matches without defeat!) has been half of the most exciting title race in decades, with Man City raising them after 12 consecutive wins, and 16 wins from their last 17. It's a phenomenal run, which makes the odds of 1/6 on them winning this one look arguably generous.

We aren't in the business of tipping 1/6 shots though of course, and we'd prefer to look at a couple of Leicester players who could find themselves picked out by Mike Dean to go in his TV highlights scrapbook.

Wilfred Ndidi joined Leicester as a replacement for the superb Ngolo Kante, and he's done a terrific job in that holding role since signing. He'll certainly have a lot to do on Monday night as he is charged with breaking up the passing and swift attacking threat of whichever line-up Man City field.

With Dean in the middle that could be bad news for the Nigerian, who has already been booked against Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal this season. With Dean showing an average of 2.3 yellow cards per away team this season, the 3/1 with UniBet looks too big.

Similar pressure will be placed on Ricardo Pereira to break up the waves of attacks, and at 10/3, he's also worth a shot at ending up in the Mike Dean note-book. He's been booked seven times in the Premier League this season - six of those in away games.
