After winning the FA Cup, Leicester City is showing a weak performance. Brendan Rodgers' team has already suffered three defeats in five games of the current EPL season. Of course, the club can not be happy with such results. Leicester is considered the favorite of the upcoming match, so we should expect Rodgers' team to prove the status and break the winless streak. Millwall is not yet ready to put up a fight against a stronger opponent. For the upcoming match I suggest considering the following betting options:
