Analysis: Are 50/1 second place Leicester a true bet for Premier League crown?


Could Leicester City be on the verge of another long-shot Premier League title success after moving second in the Premier League following their emphatic 4-1 victory at Leeds United?

The result at an almost flooded Elland Road, thanks to goals from Harvey Barnes, Jamie Vardy and two from Youri Tielemans, saw the club record their joint-best top-flight start to a season and ensure an impressive feat of winning all five opening away matches.

The Foxes have won five of their opening seven matches, are the joint-second highest scorers in the league - level with leaders Liverpool with 17 - have the third-best defensive record. Alongside all that, they have already beaten Manchester City 5-2 this term.

Despite all that, the East Midlands club remain 50/1 to win their second Premier League title. The market has moved somewhat on Tuesday morning with 40 and 33 popping up more regularly across the board, but 50s remains available with Betfair and Paddy Power.
