Head To Head

City have won eight of their last 10 against Leicester, with the Foxes winning the other two.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City have to beat Leicester in midweek or they could find themselves four points short of Chelsea in fourth with eight games to go.

City were held by Brighton in their last league game meaning they have now failed to win either of their last two Premier League games. With Chelsea in fourth-place, one point above them, City need a big performance this week.

Fortunately for the home side, they have won eight of their 14 at the Etihad Stadium in the league, while Leicester have lost 10 of their 14 away from home. City also boast five wins in their last five against the Foxes, while Erling Haaland has scored goals in each of his last four appearances in all competitions.

Leicester Form

Leicester have been awful this season, with the side sitting in 19th in the Premier League table with 17 points. They are nine points short of Wolves in 17th and safety.

The Foxes have lost 20 of their 29 matches this season, while they have scored just 25 goals, conceding 65 times.

Leicester arrive having lost their last six games in the league, while they have been beaten in 10 of their 14 away games this year.

Verdict

Man City v Leicester

I am backing City to triumph in this one as they get back to winning ways in the league. I am also backing Erling Haaland to continue his good run of scoring by netting for the fifth consecutive match in all competitions if he is fit to play.
