There are still two midweek Premier League games for our tipster Jones Knows to feast on - and he thinks Tottenham will fall foul of Leicester on Wednesday night.

Leicester vs Tottenham, Wednesday 7.30pm - Watch free highlights of this game after full time

Leicester's attack is purring, and I'm keen on giving them plenty of my faith in the second half of the season, starting in this game where the 2/1 with Sky Bet for a home win is worth following. The Foxes have scored 27 goals in their last 11 games across competitions and that has included fixtures against Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Antonio Conte has made Tottenham a tougher nut to crack but organisation levels have been hit by the absence of Eric Dier, who looks to be an important player for Conte playing at the heart of the defence. Leicester have selection issues in defence but have the quality and current form in their frontline to create big chances against the north Londoners.

Few players are in better form right now than James Maddison and his chances of scoring are worth adding into the home win bet. Playing in his favoured role off the front, he has scored in four of his last five appearances.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1

Brentford vs Manchester United, Wednesday 8pm - Watch free highlights of this game after full time

This is a tough period for Brentford, who are perhaps slipping towards the level many expected them to be performing at when assessing their pre-season chances. Thomas Frank's side have lost nine of their last 14 Premier League games having lost just one of their first seven. And, judging by what Manchester United produced for the majority of their 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, an away win looks the way to play this one at 4/5 with Sky Bet.

For those wanting to boost that price into an odds-against one, taking Manchester United to be winning at half-time and full time at 7/4 looks an interesting play. Brentford have an unfortunate habit of making slow starts and have conceded a Premier League high 21 goals in the first half of games this season, including seven in the opening 15 minutes of games.

We have yet to see the true Ralf Rangnick style of football at United but there has been an urgency to start games on the front-foot - as seen by them scoring inside nine minutes in three of their last four fixtures.

    SCORE PREDICTION: 0-2
