Leicester vs Man City Preview 


Ruud van Nistelrooy's impact as Leicester’s new manager has faded as they lost three games in a row. Despite their recent struggles, I am backing Man City to secure points against the Foxes and keep a clean sheet for a change.

Stats


  • Leicester have lost their last 3 matches. 
  • Leicester have lost to nil in 2 of their last 3 matches. 
  • Man City have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Leicester. 
  • Man City’s Erling Haaland has scored 2 goals in his last match against Leicester. 

H2H


Man City have a 44-28 advantage against Leicester with 18 draws in 90 matches. 

They last met in April 2023, the game being won by Man City 3-1. 

Leicester Form 


Leicester have hit a rough patch of form in the last couple of weeks, claiming just one point from their last four Premier League appearances and slipped into the relegation zone as a consequence. 

They had a good start under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy by beating West Ham 3-1 and snatching a point against Brighton 2-2 earlier this month, but then lost three games in a row. 

The Foxes suffered heavy defeats to Newcastle 4-0 and Wolverhampton 3-0, while also losing to Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield on the Boxing Day, Jordan Ayew scoring the only goal in the 6th minute. 

Leicester Injuries & Team News 


Jordan Ayew is suspended. 

Jamie Vardy has suffered a knock and might miss this match. He contributed six goals and three assists in his 16 EPL appearances this season. 

Wilfred Ndidi, Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira are ruled out due to injuries. 

Man City Form 


Man City are facing the biggest crisis under Pep Guardiola’s leadership, having won just one of their last thirteen encounters across competitions.  

They started this month with a 3-0 home victory against Nottingham Forest, but then were held to a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace, Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis scoring equalizers.  

The Citizens then suffered back to back defeats to Juventus 2-0 in the Champions League and to Manchester United 2-1 in the Premier League where they had a 1-0 lead with Josko Gvardiol breaking the deadlock in the first half.  

Pep Guardiola’s side also lost 2-1 to Aston Villa last weekend and failed to return to winning ways on Thursday, as their home clash against Everton ended in a 1-1 draw. Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, but the Toffees equalized before the break. Erling Haaland missed a penalty in the second half. 

Man City Injuries & Team News 


Rodri has suffered a cruciate ligament injury and is not expected to return until late March. 

Defenders Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Ake are also sidelined with injuries. 

Oscar Bobb broke his leg and will remain unavailable for at least another month. 

Ederson, Matheus Nunes, and John Stones are listed as doubtful. 

Erling Haaland is at top of Man City's scoring charts, bagging 13 goals in 18 EPL appearances. 

Verdict

Man City had 2.02-0.62 expected goals and fired 24 shots but couldn’t beat Everton on Thursday. Leicester’s defense is very fragile, so I will back the reigning champions to get back on winning track and to keep their net intact at King Power.
