Not being a betting man, is this betting going on us to win or Leicester?

it means City's odds of winning have moved from approx implied probability of 78% to 69%.

So the bookies think Leicester now have more chance?

Yup, looks like Haaland is out I guess.

Most of the criticism’s about Eddie come from people who don’t go to games. Same with Sterling when he was on form years ago. They had no idea what he brought to the team with his movement and pace. I’m not saying you can’t be a proper fan if you don’t go to games, but you really do get a completely different perspective on the game of you’re actually there

When I watched a replay of the game on Sunday it was impossible to see the tactics employed by Brighton clearly.
Only at the game was it clear how innovative Brighton were. And how well they implemented the tactic, something Pep was very impressed with.

A bit of a worry if he is. We've lost the experience of Jesus and Sterling to come in and Alvarez has faded a little.

 

[Mattyc55]

He’s not playing.

Big shame that. Up to the other players to get the points today. personally think will be 2 1 to them. Just seem to be falling into place for them (our injuries and their form) and imagine the ground will be full of those twats with their shit clappers

well, betfair exchange does-bookies will follow that so as not to enable arbitrage..see also 'wisdom of crowds.'

but in short yes, and as there are more than 2 outcomes-more chance of a draw too.

that said, 69% chance of winning is still good-and the change may not mean Haaland is out but it usually points to
something significant when the price moves so quickly.

edit mattyc confirms he's out.

Given Leicester's recent form improvement I would have thought their odds would have been shorter anyway

Good to see where we’re at I guess without him.
