Leicester City vs Manchester City: Where To Watch, Live Streaming, Date, Timing, Squad, Lineups, Venue:
After three wins and a draw in their last five games, which helped them rise from the relegation zone Leicester City will now host reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. Brendan Rodgers’ job at Leicester was in serious doubt after the Foxes had failed to win any of their first seven league games, sitting rock-bottom 20th in the table. However, the club’s owners kept their faith in the former Liverpool boss who is now slowly reviving the club’s ailing season.
Moreover, despite having just three league victories to their name, Leicester have scored a staggering 11 goals in their last 5 league games, which means they now have chipped in more goals than fifth placed Chelsea and sixth placed Man United. And they now face the league’s top-scorers Manchester City who are weaponized by arguably the world’s best attack at the moment.
On the other hand, City sit second in the league, two points behind leaders Arsenal. A win against the Foxes would take them atop of the table, with the Gunners’ having a game in hand as they play on Sunday. Nonetheless, Pep Guardiola will demand a dominant display from his side who played out a 0-0 draw in their last against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
However, the Spaniard faces bigger problems as his star striker and the league’s top scorer Erling Haaland is a serious doubt for this trip. He came-off at the half-time against his former team after sustaining a knock as well as fatigue. Guardiola is expected to hand-in the 22-year-old a much needed rest since he has started City’s every league game till now. Julian Alvarez is slated to fill-in for Haaland, who too has displayed some glimpses of robust performances.
