Leicester vs Man City Predictions


Manchester City are in excellent form on the road and Leicester City have been inconsistent at home in the English Premier League. Kelechi Iheanacho has been amongst the goals recently for Leicester, so I'm tipping a City win with Iheanacho to find the back of the net. 

  • Leicester have lost 2 of their last 4 home matches (Premier League).
  • Leicester’s Kelechi Iheanacho has scored 7 goals in 4 matches (all competitions).
  • Man City have won 8 of their last 10 matches against Leicester (all competitions).
  • Man City have won their last 14 away matches (all competitions).

Head to Head


Man City have a 61-31 advantage over Leicester in 121 meetings. 

Leicester beat Man City 5-2 in the reverse fixture, with Jamie Vardy scoring a hat-trick.  

Leicester Form 


Leicester extended their winning run to three matches with a 3-1 win over Manchester United in their FA Cup quarter-final before the international break. 

Kelechi Iheanacho scored a brace in the win over United and a hat-trick in Leicester's 5-0 win over Sheffield United in the Premier League recently.

A 1-1 draw with Burnley and a narrow 2-1 win over Brighton has kept Brendan Rodgers’ side in third place as they look to secure Champions League football next season. 

But the Foxes have lost two of their last four Premier League matches at the King Power. 

3-1 losses to Arsenal and Leeds have come either side of wins over Liverpool and Sheffield United.  

Leicester Injuries & Team News


Winger Ricardo Pereira will be in contention after a recent injury. 

Forward Harvey Barnes is ruled out along with defenders Wes Morgan and James Justin. 

Midfielder James Maddison and centre back Cengiz Under are also doubtful. 

Man City Form


Man City extended their winning streak to four matches with a 2-0 win against Everton in their FA Cup quarter-final.

City also beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 before the international break to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Pep Guardiola’s side bounced back from a 2-0 home Premier League defeat to Man United recently with back-to-back wins over Southampton and Fulham to keep their title chase on track. 

The Citizens have also won 14 consecutive away matches, including wins over Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool in the Premier League. 

Man City Injuries & Team News


Pep Guardiola has no fresh injury concerns or suspensions this weekend.

Verdict

Manchester City’s away form is brilliant and this gives them the edge over a Leicester City outfit who have struggled for consistency at home in the English Premier League. Foxes’ forward Kelechi Iheanacho is in a rich vein of form and is backed to find the back of the net again against his former employers.
