Tipsters: Another frolic for Foxes!

Cape Town – Free-scoring Leicester City certainly won’t hit nine goals this time … but they should do enough to win anyway at another surprise-package team, Crystal Palace, on Sunday.

Their meeting - both currently within the top six - unusually tops the billing in many respects for the latest English Premiership programme, and the majority view of our tipsters is for the Foxes to come out on top.

Each round of the 2019/20 campaign, a group of our staff has a crack at predicting the results - do the exercise yourself, if you like, and see how you compare afterwards.

Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial), the others are Garrin Lambley (Everton, and defending champion), Lloyd Burnard, Tashreeq Vardien, Baden Gillion and Lynn Butler (all Man Utd) plus Craig Taylor (Liverpool).

Three points are awarded for an entirely correct score-line, and one for right result.
