Well done Sky but it's a punter's nightmare

You have to hand it to Sky Sports.

Both Premier League fixtures postponed on Sunday, including the mouthwatering Liverpool v Spurs clash, and our footballing viewing - and betting - looked doomed.

However, for the second time in a week, the broadcasters have moved another game into the schedule - apparently following a cheeky request from Leicester.

That's the good news.

The bad news is this game is a devil to predict as, to be fair, many are in The Championship.

Ipswich's visit to the Walkers Stadium should supply us with a decent 90 minutes of action  but where does the value lie?

The Foxes are 11/10, with the draw at 12/5 and Ipswich 14/5.  That tells you how tight it is likely to be.

A 5-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest followed by a home reverse to Bristol City looked to confirm a slide in form for City but they've won three games on the spin since that double blow.

Now their fifth home match in a row sees them look to please their paying public once again.
 
Ipswich have picked up after a dire start to the season under Roy Keane. The board's patience with the Irishman is paying off and they have become very difficult to beat - even if they're not scoring many goals.

Keane's team have lost only once in their last 13 outings and have a tendency to draw a lot of their fixtures
which could make the stalemate the preferred option.


Matt Fryatt is 5/1 (with Coral's) favourite to score first  but for some value how about Grant Leadbitter each-way at 18s with Paddy Power?
