Leicester v Man City
📅
Kick Off: Sunday 29th December at 14:30
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Man City will look to end their winless run when they head to the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon to take on a Leicester side who have dropped into the bottom 3. Is this the day the form turns for the champions or can Leicester pull off a huge upset?
⭐ Leicester v Man City Best Bet
You get the impression that Man City are going to give someone a good going over at some point and Leicester might be the ideal opponent to do that against. In the last 3 games, Leicester have conceded 4 against Newcastle, 3 against Wolves and 3 more against Liverpool and while City are having issues defensively their attacking numbers aren’t too bad. Expect City to break out here.
👕 Leicester v Man City Predicted XI
🔍 Leicester v Man City Players to Watch
⚪️ Erling Haaland
It hasn’t been the best run of form for Erling Haaland in recent times but if we go back to earlier in the campaign he bagged a hat-trick against newly promoted Ipswich Town and also scored multiple goals against West Ham and Brentford so he feasts on poor defences.
After missing a penalty against Everton which cost his side on Boxing Day, the Norway international will be keen to make up for it here.
⚪️ Savinho
Savinho could be a real threat for Man City in this match. He terrorised the Everton left side on Boxing Day and Leicester get exposed regularly down that side too. Savinho had 7 shots against Everton and put 3 of them on target and with the skill to go inside or on the outside and the movement to get in behind, he can threaten enough to add to his growing shot on target tally.
⚪️ Jeremy Doku
Jeremy Doku is often a thorn in the side of opposing defences and he can add a couple of fouls won to his tally here. He averages 2.32 fouls won per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season and that includes being fouled 3 times against Everton on Boxing Day.
He is likely to be up against Jordan Ayew and James Justin down that side of the pitch and Ayew is a serial fouler while Justin might struggle to handle the Belgian. 2+ fouls feels well within range.
