Manchester City vs Leicester City, English Premier League 2019-20: Match Preview
Even a victory will not give Manchester City the spot behind table-toppers Liverpool, but three points will mean they stay just a point away from Leicester.
Pep Guardiola will want to avoid another defeat at the hands of a big team after ending at the receiving end against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Despite being on a three-match winnings streak in across competitions, this City team are nowhere close to what they were in the last season and Guardiola will not want his wards to lose easy points if they are to stay alive in the title race.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are back in the top tier once again after their title-winning campaign of 2015-16. 10 points shy of Liverpool, the Brendan Rodgers-managed side will be desperate to continue their good run and consolidate their stay at second.
The Foxes have been in a brilliant goal-scoring and most of the credit will go to how Jamie Vardy has flourished in the ongoing season.
City have struggled against counter-attacking football this season and all of their defeats have come through counter-attacks which Leicester seemed to have pulled brilliantly this year.
