Newcastle United look great value at 9/5 with Coral to beat Leicester City as the Barclays Premier League returns following the international break, and will be encouraged by news that Foxes front man Jamie Vardy is an injury doubt for the match.
The Magpies are undefeated in two matches and have lost just one in four. It was a hardworking victory last time out over Bournemouth, with Ayoze Perez netting the decisive goal on the south coast.
At 2/1 to score again anytime, this is a superb price for the Spanish forward, who has looked lively this season and is starting to forge a great on-field relationship with new signing Georginio Wijnaldum, and Papiss Cisse.
Claudio Ranieri's City side have conceded in every match apart from one this term, so the hosts have more than enough attacking talent to trouble what is a leaky rearguard, susceptible to losing concentration.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, meanwhile, is gradually adapting to life in the Premier League and the 21-year-old Serbian striker is decent value at 7/4 to find the net against Leicester, though there is no doubt that Wijnaldum is the current jewel in the crown, highlighted by his four-goal haul in the 6-2 home thrashing of Norwich City recently.
The delightful Dutchman is 9/1 to score two or more against the East Midlands outfit and has proved that he is hard to mark. Teams never seem to know which lines he is going to drift in between, whether Wijnaldum is going to drop off the striker, or break past the last man, with the 25-year-old capable of scoring all types of goals, having dispatched six in 12 Premier League matches so far.
