Leicester City vs Manchester City

Leicester City

The Foxes reached unbelievable heights this season and stand at ęrd place recently. They are second best by defeats, as they lost only 6 games exactly the same as Manchester City, however, drew by 2 matches more. Squad from Leicester performed very well right before the New year, but lately facing troubles and look not so strong. During the last 10 games in different competitions, they won only 4 meetings, lost and drew by 3 times. While their opponents collected 10 points in the last 5 games, they took half of it.

Of course, they had 2 very difficult matches against Chelsea and Wolverhampton lately. At King Power Stadium they faced Blues and finished the game with 2:2 result. Hosts created more scoring chances and in general, looked better than Lampard players. Against Wolves, they played away, what gave a bigger advantage to Yellow-Blacks and even controlling the ball, they had fewer chances for realization. The game finished with 0:0 draw, without any scored goals, but was full of emotion and also a big amount of yellow cards and even 1 red.

At home, Leicester lost only twice. Both defeats were during their last 5 meetings against Southampton and Liverpool. Fortunately, this time they will play with almost fully fit first eleven.

Manchester City

The race for the title for Manchester City is already over, so now they should save at least 2nd place in PL. Recently, they were confident and looked very strong but lost against Tottenham and Manchester United. Their constant rivals won against them in Manchester Derby, however, that did not stop them from getting into the Final of the EFL, where they will face Aston Villa. The new tactics and strategies of Jose Mourinho led Tottenham to 3 important points and continues to go further in PL standings. In general, Citizens are very dangerous playing attacking football at King Power stadium as they scored only once less than 2 goals out of 5 last meetings.

Unfortunately, they will play the next game without 2 strong and talented wingers Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane. However, all other main players are fit and ready for this clash.
