Foxes in the box can upset tame Terriers

IHEANACHO TO JOIN VARDY PARTY

-

ASK most Premier League defenders and they’ll tell you that Jamie Vardy on his own is quite a handful.

So imagine if he gets a strike partner that’s just as quick and deadly.

Step forward Kelechi Iheanacho. The £25m signing from Manchester City has only seen 17 minutes of action for Leicester after being hampered by a toe injury.

But he’s raring to go again and that spells bad news for Huddersfie­ld today.

The Terriers got off to a flying start on their return to the big time.

But they were strangely subdued in their 2-0 defeat at shaky West Ham on Monday night.

And Leicester, at odds against, look good value to us to add to their misery at the John Smith’s stadium.

The Foxes are a juicy 11/8 with BetVictor. Have a double handful.

We highlighte­d last weekend that Mark Hughes has a cracking record against Jose Mourinho.

And Sparky usually loves it when he faces a team from the North East.

Only versus Sunderland has Hughes won more Premier League games as a boss than against Newcastle.

Stoke are a hard team to get right, but we’ll give them a chance to topple the Toon today at 12/5 (Bet365).
