​Manchester United vs. Leicester City betting lines and pick – Table-toppers clash image

An unlikely top-of-the-table clash takes place at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, as surprise leaders Leicester City take on Manchester United on Saturday (12:30 p.m. ET, NBC).

Coming into the came on the back of a four-match winning streak in the Premier League, Claudio Ranieri’s team could make it five in a row here at odds of +215 offered at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

However, after winning 10 of the previous 11 encounters between the sides, the guest is favored at +130 to leapfrog its host into first place with another victory in this one.

Wednesday’s Champions League stalemate with PSV means Louis Van Gaal’s men have now drawn five of their last eight fixtures, and the SuperBook offers +235 on them taking home a single point yet again.

For so long the headline act in the Premier League over the years, the Red Devils may have to settle for second billing when the television cameras roll into Leicester.

Having scored more goals than any other side on their way to the Premier League summit, the Foxes are fast becoming the neutrals’ favorites, with man of the moment Jamie Vardy dominating most of the headlines.

After equaling United hero Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s accomplishment of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League games last time out, the former Fleetwood Town man now has the perfect opportunity to set a new record against a team he ran ragged in last season’s memorable 5-3 comeback victory.

While a shock result at the time, that scoreline would not look out of place this season considering Leicester have recovered more points from losing positions than any other Premier League team, provided more goals at either end than anyone else, and are the only side to find the net in every game.

With 18 goals scored in just the four league meetings between these teams, are surely not to be missed on OVER 2.5 going in given the guests’ form this campaign.

Goal.com pick: OVER 2.5 goals (-110)
