Manchester City Preview & Team News
Manchester City is hoping to win again following a 3-0 Champions League triumph vs Bayern Munich. The Citizens are full of confidence, and they enjoy an excellent streak. Their most recent results highlight the fact that much respect should be given to the Manchester City defense. Manchester City has kept it tight, seeing the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their previous six clashes standing at two. On the other hand, the defending Premier League champions have been lethal for the opponents’ defenses. They need to pick up where they left off to stay in the title race.
Leicester City Preview & Team News
Since tasting defeat last time out to Bournemouth in Premier League competition, Leicester City will be aiming to make amends here. However, it will be quite tough for the relegation-strapped Foxes. After three straight defeats, Leicester is now two points behind the nearest safe spot. The attacking players from Leicester City have had real problems scoring goals in their past six games, contributing to the poor return of only four. In those fixtures, The Foxes have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal to 10. That trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, however. Leicester City boss Dean Smith has not got a full squad to pick from. Ryan Bertrand (Knee Surgery), Jonny Evans (Calf Injury), Youri Tielemans (Torn Ankle Ligament), and James Justin (Achilles tendon rupture) are those who can’t be considered.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Manchester City has much better momentum, and anything besides the home win would be a huge surprise. We think the hosts will meet the expectations and celebrate a comfortable victory at Etihad Stadium.
Goals Market Prediction
The Citizens have been pretty productive lately, while Leicester has been involved in many high-scoring games this season. Therefore, we believe the crowd will enjoy at least four goals on Saturday evening.
