To the relief of many, we revert to football this week & we have some great games to look forward to.
We start with a fairly low-key affair, with Leicester City hosting Crystal Palace.
Leicester sit proudly in third place, eyeing up a Champions League spot next season, while Palace could use another point or two just to be mathematically safe from relegation.
Leicester are deservedly favourites to win, but I could not bet them at 4/9 with stolen.
In an odd quirk, both Managers have previously managed Liverpool. Seems hard to image Roy Hodgson as a Liverpool manager.
