Football Accumulator Tips: A tasty treble for Leicester vs Liverpool

COVID-19 is playing havoc with the Premier League timetable, but we’ve still got four games going ahead on Tuesday! We’ve drafted in betting rookie @PeteMarsden_ for his inaugural Premier League bet builder.

We’ve got some quality games in store on Tuesday, but the one that’s caught my eye has to be Leicester vs Liverpool, which is what I’ll be focusing on today.

My first selection comes from the home side. After playing Liverpool just last week in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, Leicester have been ravaged by injuries. They started off terribly against Man City, going 4-0 down in just 25 minutes. But their second half fight-back has given me cause to be optimistic.

Youri Tielemans has registered at least 1 shot on target in six of his last Premier League games, hitting two on two separate occasions in that time. Leicester showed on Boxing Day that they can be a threat going forward on the break against the big sides, and Tielemans’ ability to hit the target from outside the box makes me think that this is a good price for the game.

Next up, the return of Liverpool’s kingpin, Virgil van Dijk. It will be four years and a day since van Dijk joined Jurgen Klopp’s side, and he’ll be looking to mark the occasion with another solid display. After contracting COVID-19 himself, Liverpool will be glad to have their main man at the back returning, but it’s his presence in the opposition box that I’ll be focusing on here.

Against Man City, Leicester conceded all six goals from within their own area, and the last two were directly from corners. Leicester have conceded a league high 12 goals from set pieces this season, and van Dijk will be looking to profit further from that on Tuesday night. Furthermore, van Dijk has had 17 shots from 16 games in the league this season, with 12 of them coming from his head, showing his threat in the box.

Finally, we come to Liverpool’s new star, Diogo Jota. Only his teammate Mo Salah has scored more league goals than the Portuguese forward this season, and he comes into this game having scored in his last three games in a row.

Leicester will have bad feelings about Jota, after he scored the winning penalty to knock them out of the League Cup, and this final selection is enough to take our treble to just under 12/1.

Please gamble responsibly.
